ArtNews Feb 2007

Linda Nochlin wrote an article "Why there are no great woman artist" in this magazine dating back to the early 1970's. It talked about women not given the same opprotunities in education, and attention that their famous male artist recieve. In her most recent interviw she discusses the subtle changes that have progressed as women advance with their own distinct identity. Museums and and collectors are begining to recognize women artist as a distinct and important part of the art world. She argues however their is still work to be done.

I read that essay in my english class, i really like what she had to say, but didn't actually answer the question (it was kind of rhetorical).

I hadn't read it but did after reading beth's post and agree with Jessa. But hey getting the word out there is always a good thing. There should have been a shout out to Moore College of Art and Design. Some one told me once to look at her book "Women as Sex Object" and I neevr really got around to it but maybe I should, I've heard good things!
