Requests:  0 Summary:  "Art historian Catherine McCormack challenges how culture teaches us to see and value women, their bodies, and their lives. Cultural archetypes have long been used to subjugate women, binding them within the restrictive roles of Venus, bride, wife, mother, and monster. These portrayals echo throughout the paintings and sculptures of western art-Titian, Botticelli, and Giambologna-and more contemporaneously in fashion photographs, ads, and across social media. By society empowering men to represent women, women imbibe a distorted vision of themselves and their bodies, coming up against notions of impossible beauty, idealized passivity and violence, and horrifying Medusas. In this impassioned work, art historian Catherine McCormack evaluates the production and display of portrayals of women, exposing the underlying meanings, whether overt or symbolic. She counters them by turning to women artists like Berthe Morisot, Beyoncé, Suzanne Lacy, and Faith Ringgold. These women have been overturning confining depictions of identity, sexuality, race, and power to explore the breadth and multiplicity of women's visions of their own lives"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 704.9424 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.9424 McCormack Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 704.9424 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 704.9424 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
