Description
Girlhood is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between art and the experiences of girlhood in Britain's national collection. Claire Marie Healy guides us through the evolution of 'the girl' in art, from a silent subject to a self-expressive creator of self-portraiture. This book invites us to re-examine patriarchal art historical narratives and discover diverse contemporary expressions of girlhood. By studying the images that are made, collected, and shared by teenage girls today, Healy sheds new light on the ways in which art reflects and shapes our understanding of girlhood. This is the first book in a new series of short books that open up the conversation about British Art over the last 500 years. Look Again: Girlhood is a valuable contribution to our understanding of art and its role in shaping our lives today.
