What makes art lsquo;feminist artrsquo;? Although feminist artists do have a unique aesthetic; there can be no essential feminist aesthetic; argues Kathy Battista in this exciting new art history. Domesticity; the body; its traces and sexuality have become prominent themes in contemporary feminist practice but where did these preoccupations begin and how did they come to signify a particular type of art? Kathy Battistarsquo;s (re-)engagement with the founding generation of female practitioners centres on 1970s London as the cultural hub from which a new art practice arose. Emphasising the importance of artists including Bobby Baker; Anne Bean; Catherine Elwes; Rose English; Alexis Hunter; Tina Keane; Hannah Orsquo;Shea; Kate Walker and Silvia Ziranek and examining works such as Mary Kellyrsquo;s Post-Partum Document; Judy Clarkrsquo;s 1973 exhibition Issues; Carolee Schneemannrsquo;s Meat Joy and Cosey Fanni Tuttirsquo;s Prostitution; shown in 1976; Kathy Battista investigates some of the most controversial and provocative art from the era. This book not only deals with the lsquo;famousrsquo; art events but includes analysis of lesser-known exhibitions and performances and explains why so much feminist art has been both marginalised in art history and grossly under-represented in institutional archives and collections.

But the information in this book is immensely valuable for any business owner. I have never highlighted as many passages in my Kindle as I have with this book.I have read tons of copywriting and marketing books and they all pale compared to the density of practical and usable knowledge featured in this book. If you are looking to improve your message; there is no better place to start than here.This book helped me to realize that everything we do in business is a presentation; and the same rules apply to all mediums. Whether it be writing a blog post; shooting a video; or talking to a client; the information in this book applies.I read this to prepare for an upcoming presentation and the structure and outlines in this book made it a breeze to put together. I knew I could skip over creating distracting; content heavy slides and keep it simple and clean. It looks great and saved me so much time.Plus; the information on the importance of using plain english is something I will take with me for the rest of my life. We are trained in school to use complex academic sounding sentences because we think it makes us look smarter. Wrong!Thanks Carmine Gallo; for making it so simple.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Give better presentationsBy Steven OlsonWho hasnt sat in a boring presentation.
