Eleanor Heartney Helaine Posner Nancy Pri Mothers of Inve (Hardback) (UK IMPORT). Author: Eleanor Heartney, Helaine Posner, Nancy Princenthal, Sue Scott. Title: Mothers of Invention. Mothers of Invention underscores the enormous impact of feminist ideas on the work of contemporary artists of all genders. Further DetailsTitle: Mothers of Invention Condition: New Description: Offering a radical rewriting of the history of contemporary art from a feminist perspective, four distinguished authors explore the lineages of performance, abstraction, craft and ecofeminism in ways that reveal the debt these important genres owe to the work of pioneering women artists. Tracing these influences over time, Mothers of Invention underscores the enormous impact of feminist ideas on the work of contemporary artists of all genders. The painters, sculptors and performance artists featured here have shaped ideas now dominating the art world: the vulnerability of the environment, the rise of activist art, the challenge to the reign of high technology (including digital culture), and the development of a new language of abstraction. Having demolished the linear narrative of modernism, the privileging of a white male ethnocentric vision, the division of high and low art and the separation of art from larger social issues, feminist artists laid the groundwork for the globalised, multi-media, postmodern art world of today. Illustrated with a spread of work from the last sixty years (and including contextual discussion of earlier practitioners), this book makes a compelling case for placing feminist art and artists at the heart of contemporary art.
