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. Crucially; she not only explores a feminist re-reading of the works of canonical male Impressionist and Pre-Raphaelite artists including Edgar Degas and Dante Gabriel Rossetti; but also re-inserts into art history their female contemporaries - women artists such as Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt. Pollock discusses the work of women artists such as Mary Kelly and Yve Lomax; highlighting the problems of working in a culture where the feminine is still defined as the object of the male gaze. Now published with a new introduction; Vision and Difference is as powerful as ever for all those seeking not only to understand the history of the feminine in art; but also to develop new strategies for representation for the future.
