Organized into five sections – body, life, death, stories and icons – this volume explores the way in which women portray other women in sculpture, painting and photography. Produced from the 1970s onwards, and accompanied by an introductory essay explaining their position in cultural and artistic history, the 200 works include examples by established artists, such as Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin, as well as those who are less well known.
How do women paint or photograph each other? How do they represent each other in performance or sculpture? As mothers or heroines? With tenderness, aggression or respect? Madam & Eve explores the female gaze as it focuses on other women.
The authors - an artist and a curator - investigate the work of over 200 artists, ranging from the well-established to the lesser known. A historical introduction sets up the artistic and cultural context for the rest of the book, which focuses on art since the 1970s and covers the universal themes of the body, life, death, stories, and icons.
The result is an amazing parade of artworks: eye-catching, poignant, powerful, political, idiosyncratic, playful, awkward, passionate, sexy, and positive. It is also an eloquent examination of the impact that the feminist movement has had on contemporary art.
