A review by art_anthology
The Story of Art without Men by Katy Hessel
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I will be picking this book up again.
Its just soo dense you need to spilt it up otherwise it goes in one ear and out the other...
Despite that i will be reviewing onl the first part of five.
Part 1 paving the way c.1500-c.1900
Katy Hessel does a great job of explaining and bringing to life the founding years of art practice, providing insight that i would not have otherwis gained from male centered art history texts.
Painting herself into the cannon
Focusing on the renaissance and what many believe to be the starting point of art practice she focuses on large role that women had and how they overcame their discriminations of not being able to use nude models and often relagation to still life. The distinctive styles of the painters speak to the boldness that the carry.
