I have done research on feminist art and am still confused. There were 3 waves of feminism, 1920s, 1960-80 and 1990+. Relating these to feminist art, most of it emerged during 2nd wave as first was mostly about white women equality, right? and then how did art differ in the 3rd wave? it was geared more towards women of different origins / colors / backgrounds?
Also, feminist art is shown even before the 1st wave so it's been present for a long time but just not seen in pop culture until now? as we are currently looking at old pieces of art and the feminist sayings?
Am I correct, I'm still very confused. Thanks for answering my questions.
Feminist movement and feminist art?
in the 1800s women were not permitted to go to art school, when they did, their tuition was doubled. if they became artists, they did so b/c their fathers were artists or they hired tutors. even so, at this time, about 25,000 women artists existed. few were displayed in museums.
about this time, the Symbolists portrayed women as the femme fatale -the destruction of men. when women depicted themselves, they did so in family relationships or domestic scenes - more accurate and less subjective.
thus, more women would have gone into the art field in the 1900s.
frida kahlo is a feminist mexican artist. there were many who were not white.
there have been some current exhibits....WACK! was one.
Reply:I hope feminist art is better than normal art, the Mona Lisa is the biggest pile of crap I have ever seen(pictures in a magazine and TV) I can't understand what all the fuss is about.
