WOMEN IN THE PICTURE - CATHERINE MCCORMACK KART...

'I'm glad this book was written because it felt like the scales were falling from my eyes as I
read it. Women will continue to be objectified in art and in popular culture  but the book
sheds a generous amount of angry light on how we got here.'The Herald A bold reconsideration of
women in art - from the 'Old Masters' to the posts of Instagram influencers. A perfect pin-up 
a damsel in distress  a saintly mother  a femme fatale... Women's identity has long been
stifled by a limited set of archetypes  found everywhere in pictures from art history's
classics to advertising  while women artists have been overlooked and held back from shaping
more empowering roles. In this impassioned book  art historian Catherine McCormack asks us to
look again at what these images have told us to value  opening up our most loved images - from
those of Titian and Botticelli to Picasso and the Pre-Raphaelites. She also shows us how women
artists - from Berthe Morisot to Beyoncé  Judy Chicago to Kara Walker - have offered us new
ways of thinking about women's identity  sexuality  race and power. Women in the Picture gives
us new ways of seeing the art of the past and the familiar images of today so that we might
free women from these restrictive roles and embrace the breadth of women's vision.
