In her revolutionary essay, Nochlin refused to answer the question of why there had been no “great women artists” on its own corrupted terms, and instead, she dismantled the very concept of greatness, unraveling the basic assumptions that created the male-centric genius in art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith unparalleled insight and wit, Nochlin questioned the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art history. And future freedom, as she saw it, requires women to leap into the unknown and risk demolishing the art world’s institutions in order to rebuild them anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn this stand-alone anniversary edition, Nochlin’s essay is published alongside its reappraisal, “\u003ci\u003eThirty Years After\u003c\/i\u003e.” Written in an era of thriving feminist theory, as well as queer theory, race, and postcolonial studies, “\u003ci\u003eThirty Years After\u003c\/i\u003e” is a striking reflection on the emergence of a whole new canon. With reference to Joan Mitchell, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and many more, Nochlin diagnoses the state of women and art with unmatched precision and verve. “\u003ci\u003eWhy Have There Been No Great Women Artists\u003c\/i\u003e?” has become a slogan and rallying cry that resonates across culture and society. In the 2020s, Nochlin’s message could not be more urgent: as she put it in 2015, “There is still a long way to go.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e112 pages\u003cbr\u003eThames \u0026amp; Hudson, 2021\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1971\u003cbr\u003e4.7 x 7 x 2 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780500023846\u003cbr\u003eArt Criticism, Theory\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55305164816552,"sku":"9780500023846","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Why_have_there_been_no_great_women_artists_by_Linda_Nochlin.jpg?v=1772564615","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/why-have-there-been-no-great-women-artists-50th-anniversary-edition","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
