Description
Hettie Judah's Acts of Creation On Art and Motherhood offers a groundbreaking reimagining of art history by centreing the experiences of mothers as subjects, symbols, makers, and myths.
Through over 150 artworks spanning from prehistory to the present day, this book delves into the complexities of motherhood, exploring its joys and heartaches, mess, myths, and mishaps. By shedding light on the often-invisible labour, joy, and pain of mothering, Acts of Creation provides a long-overdue addition to the canon.
From ancient goddess artifacts to contemporary interpretations of pregnancy in the present, this book reveals the raw, unfiltered complexity of real motherhood, challenging the dominance of the Madonna and Child archetype in Western art. A must-have for anyone interested in art, history, and the experiences of women.
