About The Book

<p>In recent years Laura Cottingham has emerged as one of the most visible feminist critics of the so-called post-feminist generation. Following a social-political approach to art history and criticism that accepts visual culture as part of a larger social reality Cottingham's writings investigate central tensions currently operative in the production distribution and evaluation of art especially those related to cultural production by and about women.<br><em>Seeing Through the Seventies: Essays on Feminism and Art</em> gathers together Cottingham's key essays from the 1990's. These include an appraisal of Lucy R. Lippard the most influential feminist art critic of the1970's; a critique of the masculinist bias implicit to modernism and explicitly recuperated by commercially successful artists during the 1980s; an exhaustive analysis of the curatorial failures operative in the Bad Girls museum exhibitions of the early 1990s; surveys of feminist-influenced art practices during the women's liberationist period; speculations on the current possibilities and obstacles that attend efforts to recover lesbian cultural history; and an examination of the life work and obscuration of the early twentieth-century French photographer Claude Cahun.</p>
