{"product_id":"9781526159830","title":"Painting Her Pleasure : Three Women Artists and the Nude in Avant-Garde Paris by Lauren Jimerson","description":"Building on the momentum of recent bestsellers like Katy Hessel's The Story of  Art Without Men, Painting her pleasure spotlights three extraordinary women  who defied convention in the male-dominated world of early 20th-century Paris.  Suzanne Valadon, ?milie Charmy, and Marie Vassilieff boldly claimed the nude- one of art's most enduring and contested subjects-as their own.  These trailblazing artists shattered taboos with their depictions of the male nude,  the Black female nude, the pregnant nude, and even the rare nude self-portrait.  Their work not only challenged the boundaries of modernism but also paved the  way for later feminist artists and thinkers. Lauren Jimerson's meticulously researched and beautifully written account places  these women at the heart of the avant-garde, revealing the cultural stereotypes  and gender regimes they worked against. Complete with numerous previously  unpublished images, including 16 pages of colour illustrations, the book offers a  fresh and intersectional feminist perspective on class, privilege, and race alongside  gender. Whether you're an art historian, a feminist scholar, or simply someone inspired by  stories of creative defiance, Painting her pleasure is an essential addition to your  collection. -- .\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301835452789,"sku":"9781526159830","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526159830.jpg?v=1762791817","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526159830","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
