A review of the world’s great artists conjures familiar images: Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel; Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night; Pablo Picasso’s The Tragedy. There are many more, of course: Monet, Moya, Warhol, Rembrandt, Kandinsky. What is immediately noticeable, however, upon any brief study of art, is the significant absence of women as heralded artists—not only in our ancient pasts, but even today, amongst valiant efforts for gender equality.

Prehistoric and ancient artists represent men and women in various ways and the works of art tell an altered story, which reinforces old-fashioned gender roles. Additionally, representations of prehistoric and ancient genders illustrate the social standards of their specific periods. The views of gender presented by the works of art are still recognizable, despite all individual’s current sensibilities and views today. An individual’s contemporary view is of gender and gender rules illustrates the significant social progress that the human culture has made. Although the Woman of Willendorf and Kouros/Statue of standing Youth artworks were created at different times, the genders can still easily be depicted within the artwork.

Modernity and the Spaces of Femininity was written by Griselda Pollock in 1988, and later published in The Expanding Disclosure in 1992. Griselda Pollock is an art historian, and writes this article for fellow art historians. This is an article written to show the different approaches to femininity in the late 19th century, mainly dealing with the field of art. This article shows how during this time period there were women artists, but due to the gendered ruled ideas attached to art history, these women are largely ignored by art historians. Pollock thought that these women artists are primarily overlooked due to the fact that they are judged by the same standards that are affixed to the work of their male counterparts. But she argues

The image I chose for this paper is titled A Rose. The image is a painting painted in oil on a canvas and was painted by Thomas P. Anshutz. The painting was produced in Pennsylvania during 1907. I researched this image on ARTstor by using the term realism and then I narrowed down my search by selecting a filter to return paintings as well as setting the geography filter to North America. The painting belongs to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection and is on display in the American Wing in the gallery of Images of Woman from 1880 to 1910.

In addition, I will examine the differences between male and female sexuality and how each tended to be perceived and treated by society. Then, I will look at prominent female artists and their personal experiences and beliefs on feminism and the female in their art focusing on how it tended to be received along how male artists responded to it. Mainly, I will be analyzing the clash of sexualized images in art, focusing on the differences not only between male made art versus female art, but the differences in the women’s art community, as well. What are the reasons and goals for women to use a “sexualized image” of women in their art versus

First, almost all the present figures are philosophers, the elite, in other words. Moreover, remarkable figures like Plato and Aristotle were placed exactly in the center of the fresco, matching the vanishing point and giving a sense of gravity to their importance more than the rest. Second, women are not, if any, included in this state gathering, a masculine notion that would last for centuries. Women’s absence does not merely happen in state policy making, but also happens in things related to knowledge and art. It should be

Today’s society has different views on gender and art. This is shown through Oscar Wilde’s life and time period. The Irish pPoet, Oscar Wilde, brings about new ways of perceiving life, through his works, beliefs, and struggles with identity.

This question sent me into a deeper study and I found that African women face a similar problem. I want to discuss this by taking a look into African traditional art about women, what modern art is being portrayed regarding women today, and the struggles women artists face today.

I was drawn to this time period as well as these two sculptures. As I researched both sculptures I was fascinated by how much respect the people of that time had for their women. Not only for what they could do for them, but also for what they looked like. They didn’t see the weight and size as a grotesque thing; but more as a thing of beauty. In

This week’s reading presents a brief summary of the career of the Pre-Raphaelite painters Anna Blunden, Elizabeth Siddal, Lucy Brown and the photographer Julia Camero, and their struggles to became well-known respected artists. I believe that the main point of this reading is to show the difficulties of female artists in a patriarchal world. All these women share same obstacles and frustrations due to their role as women in society and their disadvantages within the artistic arena. We might question why there are so few female artists recorded in history compared to men? definitely, this reading portrays the adversities that women faced during the 18th century when their aspired to become artists. For instance, Elizabeth Siddla’s career was the one that most caught my attention. Even though she had a short career, I really admire her persistence and perseverance to achieve a professional status. Coming from a lower social class, hence, not having monetary power or family connections with painting she had encountered with extra difficulties during her career. In order to get access to the studio, she occasionally model for Walter Deverell, which was not considered “respectable.” Furthermore, in

In many works of art throughout history, female breasts have been featured prominently and in the nude. The symbolic meaning credited to the breast was usually associated with fertility and nourishment, both spiritual and physical, and in the wider sense, with life. Eroticism, nourishment, abundance, expression, feminine power, as well as feminine subservience, are different contradicting themes of the breast played out in time.

When one thinks of art and religion, one may think of gender role defiance and non-conformism. While this may be generally true in present times, it was not always this way. Women and men have had distinctly different places in society, these places often being unequal. Generally most well-known works throughout the ages have adhered to and represented what society regarded as the proper gender roles for men and women. This is represented in three works of art which will be discussed: Hamlet by William Shakespeare, The Courtier: Book 3 by Baldassare Castiglione, and Luncheon on the Grass by Eduoard Manet. While these three forms of art come from different times and are of different mediums, they are connected in that they follow and represent the gender roles of their time.

Louise Nevelson’s work was groundbreaking for female artists. At a time when only men created large scale works, her sculptures spoke volumes to the feminist movement. Her works initiated an era in which women's history became suitable subject matter for monumental artistic representation. She is credited with triggering the examination of femininity in art and challenging the vision

According to Helen Frankenthaler, “There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about.” Throughout history, female artists were seldom granted the same opportunities as their male counterparts, yet they refused to adhere society’s rules, and, in turn, they were able to invent powerful, unique art. Whether within the 20th century parameters-which often offered much more creative freedom to women such as working rights, dress style, and voting rights- both Frida Kahlo’s surrealism and Gabriele Munter’s figurative art found new ways to challenge society’s expectations of women and their art.

Appreciation of art is like the appreciation of a novel. One may read a title of a novel and be amazed and curios but will never appreciate it fully if the novel is not read from cover to cover. For any piece of art, one needs to learn about the artist, the story behind the piece and the purpose of the piece. In addition to learning about the work, as a woman, I find myself leaning more towards the appreciation of the work of women artists who use their talent and skills to express themselves and/or the causes they stand for. For this assignment I chose the work pieces of Believe +doubts =sanity by Barbara Kruger, By the light 2013 by Shinique smith and untitled 2002 by ellen Gallagher.
