A close ally of Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot and Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt was the only American painter at the heart of the Impressionist group in Paris. Highly respected on both sides of the Atlantic, Cassatt was a forthright advocate for women’s intellectual, creative and political emancipation. She brought her discerning gaze and compositional inventiveness across many media to the subtle social interactions of women in public and private spaces, such as at the theatre, and in moments of intimacy with children, where she was one of the most attentive and unsentimental analysts of the infant body and the child’s emerging personality.       Tracing key moments in Cassatt’s long career, art historian Griselda Pollock highlights Cassatt’s extensive artistic training across Europe, analysing her profound study of Old Masters while revealing her intelligent understanding of both Manet and Courbet. Pollock also provides close readings of Cassatt’s paintings and her singular vision of women in modernity. Now revised with a new preface, updates to the bibliography and colour illustrations throughout, this book offers a rich perspective on the core concerns of a major Impressionist artist through the frames of class, gender, space and difference.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56291259253109,"sku":"9780500204818","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780500204818_1f7b3af3-36d9-42dd-a664-97e8aade1ece.jpg?v=1786013844"},{"product_id":"9780719087981","title":"After-affects | after-images","description":"\u003cp\u003eDo artists travel away from or towards trauma? Is trauma encrypted or inscribed in art? Or can aesthetic practices (after-images) bring about transformation of trauma, personal trauma or historical traumas? Can they do this in a way that does not imply cure or resolution of the traces (after-affects) of trauma? How do artists themselves process these traces as participants in and sensors for our life-worlds and histories, and how does the viewer, coming belatedly or from elsewhere, encounter works bearing such traces or seeking forms through which to touch and transform them?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are some of the questions posed by major feminist art historian and cultural analyst, Griselda Pollock, in her latest installation of the virtual feminist museum.

Offering a specifically-feminist contribution to trauma studies, and a feminist psychoanalytical contribution to the study of contemporary art, this volume continues the conceptual innovations that have been the hall-mark of Pollock's dedicated exploration of feminist interventions in art's histories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296881553781,"sku":"9780719087981","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780719087981_b2b77e15-3042-4cab-bdf8-2674b53c95f9.jpg?v=1786014791"},{"product_id":"9781350149175","title":"Old Mistresses","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy is everything that compromises greatness in art coded as 'feminine'?

Only Rosenau, however, centred gender in her analysis. The result—her book Woman in Art: From Type to Personality—is a feminist art-historical project, as relevant today as when it was first published in 1944, in which Rosenau drew on contemporary discussions of gender in anthropology, philosophy, sociology, law, theology, history, and literature.      In this new volume, ahead of the eightieth anniversary of its original publication, Rosenau’s erudite and accessible text is prefaced with a personal memoir by Adrian Rifkin, who was once her student, new research into the refugee experience by Rachel Dickson, and a portrait of Rosenau as feminist intellectual by Griselda Pollock. In conversation with this new setting of the original text, richly illustrated with colour images, Pollock offers eye-opening new readings of key aspects of Rosenau’s methods, concepts, arguments, and interpretations of famous artworks, establishing the place of Rosenau’s “little book of 1944” in the historiographies of both feminist thought and cutting-edge art history across two centuries.    ?Distributed for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art A digital facsimile of Woman in Art (1944) can be found on the Internet Archive (archive.org)","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308696187253,"sku":"9781913107413","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781913107413_7424f023-dd57-4668-bb28-7ecb005e7241.jpg?v=1786030995"},{"product_id":"9780415308502","title":"Vision and Difference","description":"Griselda Pollock provides concrete historical analyses of key moments in the formation of modern culture to reveal the sexual politics at the heart of modernist art, exploring the writings of Elizabeth Siddall, Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311750721909,"sku":"9780415308502","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780415308502_681216d8-4d09-44a3-bb6e-38248693608e.jpg?v=1786013732"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-griselda-pollock.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
