Painting is the focus, as traditionally it has been a privileged medium for portraiture, particularly for white male artists. The artists here use painting and women as subject matter and as vehicles for change. They range from early trailblazers such as Emma Amos and Alice Neel to emerging artists such as Jordan Casteel, Somaya Critchlow and Apolonia Sokol. All place women―their bodies, gestures and individuality―at the forefront.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pivotal narrative in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWomen Painting Women\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is how the artists included use the conventional portrait of a woman as a catalyst to tell another story outside of male interpretations of the female body. They conceive new ways to activate and elaborate on the portrayal of women by exploring themes of the Body, Nature Personified, Selfhood and Color as Portrait. Replete with complexities, realness, abjection, beauty, complications, everydayness and joy, the portraits in this volume make way for women artists to share the stage with their male counterparts in defining the image of woman and how it has evolved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eArtists include\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Rita Ackermann, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Emma Amos, María Berrío, Louise Bonnet, Lisa Brice, Joan Brown, Jordan Casteel, Somaya Critchlow, Kim Dingle, Marlene Dumas, Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, Nicole Eisenman, Tracey Emin, Natalie Frank, Hope Gangloff, Eunice Golden, Jenna Gribbon, Alex Heilbron, Ania Hobson, Luchita Hurtado, Chantal Joffe, Hayv Kahraman, Maria Lassnig, Christiane Lyons, Danielle Mckinney, Marilyn Minter, Alice Neel, Elizabeth Peyton, Paula Rego, Faith Ringgold, Deborah Roberts, Susan Rothenberg, Jenny Saville, Dana Schutz, Joan Semmel, Amy Sherald, Lorna Simpson, Arpita Singh, Sylvia Sleigh, Apolonia Sokol, May Stevens, Claire Tabouret, Mickalene Thomas, Nicola Tyson and Lisa Yuskavage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAndrea Karnes, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eChief Curator of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 172 pages | 65 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e July 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9781636810355\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e27.7 x 21.1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490548425082,"sku":"9781636810355","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/files\/women-painting-women-9781636810355-1265300595.jpg?v=1793369232","url":"https:\/\/www.museumbookstore.com\/products\/women-painting-women","provider":"Museum Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
