Now we have seen Women and Art in 1970s Italy ISBN: 9788836656646 (HB - EN) € bestellen verlanglijst This edited volume examines the relationship between women and art in 1970s Italy. Drawing inspiration from a phrase in the Manifesto di Rivolta Femminile (1970) - "we have been looking for 4000 years: now we have seen!" - it investigates how women artists became increasingly aware of a need to accelerate the pace of change, as declared through the verbs "to look" and "to see" - verbs that connote a shift from the passive to the active. The topic of female emancipation in the 1970s is addressed here in its privileged connection to the visual arts through the exploration of several macro-topics leading to a critical and historical analysis of the tools and paradigms of emancipation itself.
