London: Routledge, 1996. Hardcover. Clean, tight contents but with faint age toning to page margins; corners bumped; light shelf wear to covers in general. Art school ex-lib. copy with usual marks.. Black cloth/boards with silver lettering. No dust jacket. xx + 300 pp. with bw images throughout, numbered by chapter. An analysis of the visual arts from a critical feminist perspective. Women artists' responses to motherhood, the body, the land and history are examined. In Generations and Geographies, the challenge of contemporary feminist theory encounters the provocation of the visual arts made by women in the twentieth century. The major issue is difference: sexual, cultural and social. Generations points to the singularity of each artist's creative negotiation of time and historical and political circumstance; Geographies calls attention to the significance of place, location, and more.
