Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? by Linda Nochlin
4.5
Charged, poignant, and at times quite funny. To the reader of 2024, the ideas presented in Nochlin's article may not come across as revolutionary but it certainly must have ruffled some feathers in 1971 when it was first published.
The article pas particularly interesting when it questions the notion of an innate 'genius' thought to be present in the Great Artist that was (and in all honesty, still is) prevalent
- whether consciously or subconsciously - in many scholars and casual art enjoyers alike.
Written in a highly accessible language with great wit and character. this was a quick and interesting read that served as a good introduction to feminist art history.
