Description:When a woman picks up the brush, chisel, or camera and focuses her attention on the male, she invites an avalanche of patriarchal opprobrium. Nobody wants an informer in the kitchen or bedroom and as wife, mother or lover, women know far too much about men to be allowed to speak freely.Arising out of the controversy surrounding an exhibition at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts, this collection of challenging essays and interviews explores the goals, ideas and conflicts of women artists who portray men as objects of sexual desire, as persecutors, poseurs, emotional dependents or friends and lovers. Even as the show was denounced by critics for its provocative imagery and keen political and critical edge, it drew record crowds, making clear that women exposing the male to view are liable to touch a nerve.With over 100 rich halftone illustrations and essays touching on the rebirth of figurative art, the use of art as a vehicle for political comment and the emergence of women artists, Women's Images of Men makes a substantial contribution to changes in attitudes toward women's art.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
