Féminisme et pédagogie au coeur des formations artistiques

Féminisme et pédagogie au cœur des formations artistiques : 40 ans d’expérience brings together two lectures given by Griselda Pollock in 1985 and 2022. In her 1985 lecture, Griselda Pollock offered a critique of the gender politics of twentieth-century art education, which she argued reinforced the individualistic, masculinist ideology of the capitalist conditions of art production. She associates the cult of the author with a lack of recognition of women artists, despite their flagrant participation in modern art. She explores the impact of post-modern criticism and a commitment to feminist art on theories of meaning, subjectivity and the image, when she breaks away from the ‘studio’ model. Finally, she argues for ‘a feminist intervention in the history of the arts’ that can challenge the model centred exclusively on the male artist-hero or the hegemony of formalism in art theory.
