Puritan Picture: Vanity, Morality, and Race in Seventeenth-Century Britain.
Yale Center of British Art, New Haven, CT, USA, Sep 27–28, 2024
The middle decades of the seventeenth century in Britain were characterized by radical political, religious, and social change. In this period, an unknown artist created a remarkable painting that spoke to fears and anxieties crystallizing around a perceived increase in moral laxity, gender transgression, and the insidious influence of foreigners. The painting depicts two women side by side, each wearing a conspicuous array of beauty patches. The woman on the left reprimands her companion with the words “I black with white bespott: . . . → En lire plus
Appel à publication : Early women curators and the making of institutional collections (1890s-1970s)
“The museum is me!” Early women curators and the making of institutional collections (1890s-1970s). Edited volume.
Between the 1890s-1970s, women began accessing decision-making roles in museums worldwide. This edited volume proposes a transnational exploration of both the contributions and the challenges of pioneering female curators regarding museum practice, collection-making, and display design. As scholarship (Diaz-Andreu, 2005; Hill, 2016) starts unearthing the distinctiveness of women’s curatorial practices, we aim to define and explore the extent of this potential gendered approach to collecting and curating. What did pioneering women curators achieve, and what can a gender perspective on museum history contribute to uncover?
Beyond describing obstacles to women’s agency in curatorial work (such as “marriage bars”, salary gaps, and prejudices against female . . . → En lire plus
Existe-t-il une spécificité de l’enseignement artistique au féminin ? À la fin du XIXe siècle, un nombre croissant de femmes accèdent à une professionnalisation, de la miniature au tableau de chevalet, en passant par la gravure. Certaines envisagent la pratique artistique sans avoir la nécessité d’en vivre, mais avec tout autant d’implication, rejetant le statut d’amatrices dans lequel on voudrait les circonscrire. En outre, l’artiste comme enseignante, souvent invisibilisée, occupe une place non négligeable dans les processus d’apprentissage. Cette mosaïque de profils et de trajectoires a pu émerger par le biais d’enseignements où la différenciation sexuée et la hiérarchisation des objets sont . . . → En lire plus

Since the 1970s, the discourse on art criticism has been dominated by widely credited claims that the practice is in ‘crisis’. However, this prevalent talk is lacking a thorough analysis. It is worth asking: Who speaks about a crisis and on what basis is this diagnosis . . . → En lire plus
