Description
Eva Hesse: Longing, Belonging and Displacement is a new examination of the work of American German Jewish artist Eva Hesse. This book uses exciting new feminist approaches to explore her art practice, focusing on key works and uncovering the overlooked legacy of the Holocaust and refugee life in her oeuvre. The author considers creativity and the feminine, trauma and historiography, and reevaluates Hesse's relationship with her mother and its impact on her work. By drawing practice within Hesse's wider oeuvre, this book provides a reassessment of her artistic significance. Through this critical analysis, Eva Hesse: Longing, Belonging and Displacement offers a fresh perspective on the life and art of one of the most significant figures in twentieth century art.
