| Summary: | Consists of nine color images of self-portraits by women artists, alongside an essay by the author, who is an expert on portraiture, in which he questions whether women depict themselves differently to their male colleagues. The artists include Maria Lassnig (b.1919), Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980), Elizabeth Peyton (b.1965) and Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907). Each portrait includes a brief profile of the artist. The author opens with a general discussion on women in art, referencing Linda Nochlin's essay "Why have there been no great women artists?". He offers a brief history of a number of women artists over the centuries, and elaborates his own theses as to why so few attained as wide renown as their male peers. He also discusses the impact of the advent of photography on portraiture in general. [Publication Abstract] |
