Abstract

It would be unthinkable now to omit early female pioneers from any survey of photography's history in the Western world. Yet for many years the gendered language of American, British and French photographic literature made it appear that women's interactions with early photography did not count as significant contributions. Using French and English photo journals, cartoons, art criticism, novels, and early career guides aimed at women, this volume will show why and how early photographic clubs, journals, exhibitions, and studios insisted on masculine values and authority, and how Victorian women engaged with photography despite that dominant trend. Focusing on the period before 1890, when women were yet to develop the self-assurance that would lead to broader recognition of the value of their work, this study probes the mechanisms by which exclusion took place and explores how women practiced photography anyway, both as amateurs and professionals. Challenging the marginalization of women's work in the early history of photography, this is essential reading for students and scholars of photography, history and gender studies.

Abstract

In Generations and Geographies in the Visual Achallenge of Arts: Feminist Readings the challenge of contemporary feminist theory encounters the provocation of the visual arts made by women in the twentieth century. The major issue is difference: sexual, cultural and social. The book points to the singularity of each artist's creative negotiation of time and historical and political circumstance. Griselda Pollock calls attention to the significance of place, location and cultural diversity, connecting issues of sexuality to those of nationality, imperialism, migration, diaspora and genocide.

Abstract

The essays in this volume analyze strategies adopted by contemporary novelists, playwrights, screenwriters, and biographers interested in bringing the stories of early modern women to modern audiences. It also pays attention to the historical women creators themselves, who, be they saints or midwives, visual artists or poets and playwrights, stand out for their roles as active practitioners of their own arts and for their accomplishments as creators. Whether they delivered infants or governed as monarchs, or produced embroideries, letters, paintings or poems, their visions, the authors argue, have endured across the centuries. As the title of the volume suggests, the essays gathered here participate in a wider conversation about the relation between biography, historical fiction, and the growing field of biofiction (that is, contemporary fictionalizations of historical figures), and explore the complicated interconnections between celebrating early modern women and perpetuating popular stereotypes about them.

Abstract

"Du 21 octobre 2022 au 26 février 2023, le musée de La Boverie présente l'exposition "Collectionneuses Rothschild. Mécènes et donatrices d'exception". Conçue en partenariat avec le Musée du Louvre, elle emmène le visiteur dans l'univers de la famille Rothschild, et plus particulièrement dans les collections de certaines femmes de la branche familiale française. Renouvelant un partenariat initié en 2016 avec le musée du Louvre (En plein air en 2016 et Viva Roma ! en 2018), La Boverie inaugure avec cette exposition la thématique 2022-2023 sur les collections.Depuis le XIXe siècle, la famille Rothschild est légendaire dans l'histoire de nos sociétés. Cette dynastie est devenue au fil du temps synonyme de réussite dans le monde de la finance, mais aussi de richesse intellectuelle et artistique. Un nom incontournable, connu de tous. Pourtant, derrière ce nom de famille se cache des personnalités méconnues et un patrimoine insoupçonné. Proposant un point de vue nouveau et original, le livre mettra en lumière des femmes de la branche française de la famille à la personnalité singulière. Ignorées par l'histoire de l'art, ces femmes ont été des collectionneuses, bâtisseuses, mécènes et héritières, qui ont contribué d'une manière significative à l'enrichissement du patrimoine historique et des collections des musées français par leurs dons et legs considérables. Le livre retracera le goût et la personnalité de ces femmes d'exception. Parfois très indépendantes, parfois dans l'ombre de leur mari, elles ont joué un rôle important dans l'histoire de l'art, l'histoire, la société et même dans la vie des artistes de leur époque.Collectionneuses Rothschild présente des grands artistes, tels que Fragonard, Chardin, Delacroix, Cézanne, Claudel, Rodin, Klimt, Monet, mais aussi des manuscrits médiévaux, des tableaux de la Renaissance italienne, des collections de bijoux et de porcelaines, ou encore des objets d'art africain et d'Extrême-Orient. Autant d'oeuvres d'art qui témoignent de l'histoire du goût et du collectionnisme au fil des XIXe et XXe siècles."--

Abstract

'Women in Architecture' sheds light on how women in all their different roles contribute to architecture, from the past to the present. Despite the essential and varied contributions of women, the narrative surrounding architecture remains deeply rooted in masculinity. Nonetheless, women have played crucial roles throughout architectural history. This publication sheds light on the reasons behind the absence of women in archives and publications, and how that exclusion continues to perpetuate the invisibility of women in architecture today. By bringing together these stories, the publication adds a crucial chapter to the history of architecture in the Netherlands and advocates for greater diversity in the current architectural discourse.²
