Description
Visualizing Feeling: Affect and the Feminine Avant-garde challenges traditional views of late modern art by introducing feeling to its analysis. This subversive art history explores how four influential female artists - Eva Hesse, Lygia Clark, Ana Mendieta, and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha - transformed established avant-garde protocols through their work. Their art introduced an affective dimension that has never been analyzed in detail before. This book addresses a methodological blind spot in art history: the interpretation of feeling, emotion, and affect. It demonstrates that the affective dimension is part of the artistic means of production and innovation, alongside other materials and methods of art. This thorough re-appraisal of aesthetic engagement with affect in post-1960s art provides new insights into the radical and exploratory nature of late modernism.
