Description
For centuries, women's self-portraiture has been overlooked, yet it offers a rich and diverse range of artists and portraits spanning centuries. This book finally gives this genre the critical analysis it deserves.
From sixteenth-century Italy to modern times, women have used self-portraiture as a means of expression and exploration. Sofonisba Anguissola's series of self-portraits from adolescence to old age, Judith Leyster's relaxed and confident depiction at her easel, and the bold and intimate works of Alice Neel, Frida Kahlo, Cindy Sherman, and Marlene Dumas are just a few examples of the many talented women who have used this medium.
Frances Borzello's spirited text brings these artists and their works to life, revealing the intensity and passion behind each self-portrait. This inspiring book is a must-have for anyone interested in art, feminism, and the stories of women who have shaped our understanding of themselves and their place in the world.
