Feminist Art
Feminist Art
emerged in the 1960s and 1970s by women who felt that they wanted to express
themselves outside of society’s ideas of what is feminine and what is not. The Guerrilla
Girls were one of the first groups of women to create feministic art and since
then it has evolved and create a lot of notice. Having touched based on feminist art in art class; I decided to study the archives they have online of this art.
Being that many of
my views coincide with feminism and what feministic women stand for, I found
these articles to be fascinating and witty. They allow us to reverse gender
roles and let the world get a glimpse of the female mind. They also allow these
women to bring awareness to some of the things that women are facing that we
are otherwise unaware of. Barbara Kruger for example, has an untitled 1986
piece that covers a whole room speaks to the truth of stereotyping in our
society. Frida Kahlo’s the broken Column speaks to what she must have felt having
to live a life with a broken body due to her accident. I feel that feministic
art is a great form of art that could be empowering based on your aesthetic and
your views of feminism.
