Overview
THE FEMALE BODY IN ART From the Renaissance to the present day, this is the history of art told through the female form, with over 80 works of art. A cultural mirror of the times, the female body has captivated both artists and audiences for centuries. But what can we learn from these portrayals of women? What are they trying to tell us about the world we live in? And how has that changed over time? From the luminous portraiture of Gustav Klimt to Lee Miller’s astonishing wartime photography and the ground-breaking performance art of Marina Abramovic, Amy Dempsey takes us on an exploration of the evolution of the female body in art. Meet Sandro Botticelli’s Venus, Leonor Fini’s shepherdess, Barkley L. Hendricks’s Madonna and Toyin Ojih Odutola’s adventuresses to discover how the invisible have become visible, the overlooked have been represented, and art has left a changed world in its wake. Amy Dempsey is an art historian, writer and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
