This course examines the relationship between feminism and the visual arts from the 1970s until the present day. Through close analysis of individual works of art and detailed attention to particular historical contexts, we will uncover how specific media, processes, and subject matter articulate an array of feminist attitudes towards issues such as gender, subjectivity, race, class, sexuality, motherhood, labor, abortion, and religion. Relevant theoretical texts will be juxtaposed to specific case studies in order to further illuminate the works’ feminist stakes.
