Building on the themes established in the earlier volumes, Selzer continues her exploration of the “female gaze” – a way of seeing and representing the world through women’s lived experiences and women’s ways of seeing, rather than through traditionally dominant male perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough detailed biographical research and insightful analysis of their artworks, Selzer examines how these artists challenged the conventions of their time. Whether depicting domestic interiors, intimate portraits or everyday scenes of women in the Australian landscape, their work offered authentic and deeply human portrayals of women’s lives that contrasted sharply with the heroic and nationalistic narratives favoured by many male artists of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs in previous volumes, Selzer combines art history with social and cultural commentary, uncovering the barriers women artists faced in gaining recognition and the social expectations that shaped both their opportunities and their artistic subjects. At the same time, she reveals the originality, emotional depth and quiet radicalism embedded within their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExpanding the ongoing conversation around women’s representation in art, \u003ci\u003eThe Female Gaze in Art and Photography: Volume 3\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the enduring relevance of the female gaze and the importance of restoring overlooked women artists to the centre of Australian art history. Richly researched and thoughtfully written, this volume offers an illuminating perspective on art, gender and cultural identity, and will appeal to readers interested in feminism, biography and the evolving history of women in art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47865611780332,"sku":"9781761453342","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/e49fa6587b5bf95f9bc4772d38b01d48_c1d9a795-d42a-4803-ab72-0fef41d8d8be.jpg?v=1782863368"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/anita-selzer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
