Author: FRANCES BORZELLO
Title: Seeing Ourselves
Description: Thames and Hudson, 1998. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 224. This fresh, richly illustrated book is the first in-depth presentation of how women artists have chosen to picture themselves. Beginning with the self-portraits of nuns in medieval illuminated manuscripts, Borzello reconstructs an overlooked genre and provides essential contextual information. She moves on to sixteenth-century Italy, where Sofonisba Anguissola painted one of the longest known series of self-portraits, recording her features from adolescence to old age. In 1630, Artemisia Gentileschi depicted herself as the personification of painting, and at the same time in the Netherlands Judith Leyster portrayed herself at her easel, as a relaxed, self-assured professional. In the 1700s, women from Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun to Angelica Kauffman conveyed, each in her own way, ideas of femininity and the artist's passion for her chosen field. ISBN: 9780500018361. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
