Femininity Time and Feminist Art

"Femininity, Time and Feminist Art" explores feminist art of the 1970s through the lens of contemporary art made by women. In a series of original readings of artworks by, amongst others, Tracey Emin, Vanessa Beecroft, Hannah Wilke and Carolee Schneemann, Clare Johnson argues that femininity can be understood as a relationship to time. Each chapter analyses one or more artworks through different forms of time, taking the reader on a journey through a range of issues including maternal loss and desire, narratives of escape and failed femininity. "Femininity, Time and Feminist Art" argues for an inter-generational approach to art history, which is unafraid to include art considered marginal to feminism.
