- Title
Katy Hessel's The Story of Art Without Men.
- Authors
Carrier, David
- Abstract
Katy Hessel's book, "The Story of Art Without Men," is a response to Ernst Gombrich's "The Story of Art," which has been criticized for its Eurocentrism and lack of female representation. Hessel's book focuses on the history of art from a feminist perspective, highlighting the contributions of female artists throughout history. The book covers a wide range of art forms and artists, including both well-known and lesser-known figures. Hessel argues that contemporary art by women is particularly important for its political critique. While the book has been praised for its analysis of the marginalization of female artists, some critics question the relationship between this art and the capitalist art market. Overall, "The Story of Art Without Men" is seen as an important and thought-provoking contribution to the field of art history.
