MAKING IT MODERN - LINDA NOCHLIN GEBUNDEN

A selection of key essays by one of the most influential voices in art history  including seven
previously unpublished pieces. This illustrated  edited collection of essays brings together
for the first time some of the pioneering art historian Linda Nochlin's most important writings
on modernism and modernity from across her six-decade career. Before the publication of her
seminal tract on feminism in art  'Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?'  Nochlin had
already firmly established herself as a major practitioner of a politically sophisticated and
class-conscious social art history  with her writings on modernism being transformative to the
discipline. Nochlin embraced Charles Baudelaire's conviction that modernity meant to be of
one's time - and that the role of an art historian was to understand the art of the past not
only in its own historical context  but according to the urgencies of the contemporary world.
From academic debates about the nude in the 18th century to the work of Robert Gober in the
21st  whatever she turned her analytic eye to was very much conceived as the art of the now -
the art we need to look at to navigate the complexities and contradictions of the present.
