Mujeres artistas

Women artists. Essays by Linda Nochlin brings together thirty essential essays by the most astute and provocative contemporary historian published throughout her career, including two written specifically for this collection and an interview in which she reviews her academic career and reflects on the role of women in contemporary art. This is Linda Nochlin's definitive anthology of feminist theory and art created by women. Among the writings selected by Maura Reilly, a milestone in feminist theory stands out: "Why have there been no great women artists?", from 1971, together with other seminal essays: "Women artists after the French Revolution" or "Starting from zero. The beginnings of the history of feminist art". To complete the theoretical approach, the volume contains several studies dedicated to important modern artists, such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Berthe Morisot or Mary Cassatt, and contemporary ones, such as Jenny Saville, Kiki Smith or Sophie Calle, among many others.
