Women in the picture : what culture does with female bodies / Catherine McCormack. by McCormack, Catherine, 1980- W. W. Norton & Company, 2021. Call #: 704.042 M478w Subjects Women in art.   Sex role in art.   Art and society. ISBN:  9780393542080 (pbk.) Edition:  1st American ed. Description:  v, 231 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  ""Venus, maiden, wife, mother, monster -- women have been bound so long by these restrictive roles, codified by patriarchal culture, that we scarcely see them. Catherine McCormack illuminates assumptions behind these stereotypes whether writ large or subtly hidden. She ranges through Western art think -- Titian, Botticelli, and Millais -- and the image-saturated world of fashion photographs, advertisements and social media. She counters these depictions of women by turning to the bold work of women artists such as Morisot, Ringgold, Lacy, and Walker, who offer alternative images for exploring women's identity, sexuality, race and power in more complex way."--Back cover.
