From the publisher's blurb, "Beyond the Frame rewrites the history of Victorian art to explore the relationships between feminism and visual culture in a period of heady excitement and political struggle. Artists were caught up in campaigns for women's enfranchisement, education and paid work, and many were drawn into controversies about sexuality. This richly documented and compelling study considers painting, sculpture, prints, photography, embroidery and comic drawings as well as major styles such as Pre-Raphaelitism, Neo-Classicism and Orientalism. Drawing on critical theory and post-colonial studies to analyse the links between visual media, modernity and imperialism, Deborah Cherry argues that visual culture and feminism were intimately connected to the relations of power." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xvi [1], 1-268 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Fine

Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. From the personal library of the feminist art historian extraordinaire, Dr. Whitney Chadwick, a giant across many fields. From the publisher's blurb, "A collection of fourteen essays originally presented at a conference honoring pioneering feminist art historian Linda Nochlin. A number of today's most prominent historians of modern art and visual culture address here the intersection of subjectivity and politics, reflecting the critical influence that Linda Nochlin has had upon the most advanced thought in art history today. From Ewa Lajer-Burcharth's discussion of the eighteenth-century erotic architecture of Jean-Jacques Lequeu to Rosalind Krauss's essay on Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro, from Abigail Solomon-Godeau's reexamination of the concept of realism in art to Molly Nesbit's reflections on Rachel Whiteread's Water Tower, the range of studies in this volume will be of interest to all who have been impressed by Nochlin's varied approaches to the visual world. Included as well is an interview with Nochlin by Moira Roth, an essay by Robert Rosenblum on his long intellectual friendship with Nochlin, a complete bibliography of Nochlin's work, and an afterword by Nochlin herself. The essays in this volume represent original and innovative research in the fields of art history and visual culture, and include: Carol Duncan, John Cotton Dana's Progressive Museum; Kenneth Silver, The Heroism of Understatement: The Ideological Machinery of La Fresnaye's Conquest of the Air; Eunice Lipton, Kouroi and Communists: A Memoir of the Spanish Civil War; Tamar Garb, Framing Femininity in Manet's Portrait of Mlle E. G.; Stephen Eisenman, Identity and Non-Identity in Gauguin's Te nave nave fenua; John Goodman, Identity and Lubricity; Robert Simon, Tales of Blood: Gericault and Popular Imagery; and Carol Ockman, Women, Icons, and Power. 102 b/w illustrations."

Stafford, Barbara Maria

Body Criticism: Imaging the Unseen in Enlightenment Art and Medicine

Cambridge, Massachusetts, The M.I.T. Press, 1993. Second Printing. Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. Sterling condition hardcover copy, with unbruised tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear; not ex-library, with neither underlining nor highlighting anywhere. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, showing only very minor wear, protected by a plastic coat, dust jacket not being price-clipped. According to the publisher's blurb, "Body Criticism is a celebration of visual culture as well as a major contribution to our understanding of the history of the human body. At its core is a profound exploration of the innovative strategies developed in the eighteenth century for making visible the unseeable aspects of the world. In the process it uncovers and analyzes the persistence of a remarkable set of body metaphors deriving from both aesthetic and medical practices. For Barbara Stafford, all forms of representation are metaphors for cognitive processes in a society, and the historian's job is to reconstruct the metaphors in order to shed light on the society. Here she looks at the changing nature of images of the human body as a key to understanding the changing status of the body as western society was establishing the outlines of modernity. The six central chapters examine a remarkable range of images and representational practices under the headings Dissecting, Abstracting, Conceiving, Marking, Magnifying, and Sensing. The importance of 'Body Criticism lies in its own visibilizing of previously unexplored interrelationships between art and medicine not only during the Enlightenment but now. Stafford also presents a strong argument for society's need to recognize the occurrence of a profound revolution - a radical shift from a text-based to a visually-centered culture. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xiv + 587 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Used: Very Good
