The Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s: Art of the1970s | Publication (Hardcover) 2nd Edition 2020
This book documents a tectonic change in the way women portray themselves in art. Historically, women were depicted as a projection of male fantasies, prejudices and relationships. However in the 1970s, for the first time, female artists began to investigate visual representations of their own selves. They studied their own bodies and created the prospect of determined feminine identities. Editor Gabriele Schor explores the Feminist Avant-Garde to emphasise the role that these artists played for the last four decades. Elaine Shemilt was included in this important publication in its first edition. The author, Gabriele Schor is also curator of the Sammliung Verbund Collection in Vienna, who subsequently met Shemilt to discuss the EWVA research and purchased eleven works from her.
The second Edition for 2020 includes an expanded section on Shemilt, which is reproduced below:
