Acerca de este título

Brought to you by Penguin.

A dazzlingly original reassessment of women's stories, bodies and art - and how we think about them.


For decades, feminist artists have confronted the problem of how to tell the truth about their experiences as bodies. Queer bodies, sick bodies, racialised bodies, female bodies, what is their language, what are the materials we need to transcribe it?

Exploring the ways in which feminist artists have taken up this challenge, Art Monsters is a landmark intervention in how we think about art and the body. Weaving daring links between disparate artists and writers – from Julia Margaret Cameron’s photography to Kara Walker’s silhouettes, Vanessa Bell’s portraits to Eva Hesse’s rope sculptures – Lauren Elkin shows that their work offers a potent celebration of beauty and excess, sentiment and touch, the personal and the political.

Reseñas de la crítica

'Destined to become a new classic'
'Juxtaposes ideas, images, language, in a vivid collage that invites us to look more deeply'
'Soaring and vivid ... it left me giddy with possibility'
'A fascinating re-visioning and re-imagining of women artists who have used their bodies in all sorts of creative, subversive ways.'
'You won't find anything like this history, told in this way, anywhere else'
A lively and vibrant account of feminist art that articulates the everyday experience of having a body... [a] superb book
Insightful, provocative and at times heartbreaking
Art Monsters joins a larger conversation about monstrousness and art... provoking new, deeper questions about how feminism can and must evolve to engage with those who do things differently
Compulsively readable... Art Monsters is a remarkably joyful book in which the senses are tested and explored, and the boundaries of disgust and desire redrawn
A heavy read at times, but this is not a book for taking the easy route - and is all the more rewarding for it
