'Art/Women/California 1950-2000: Parallels and Intersections 'is an unprecedented examination of the impact that specific women artists, working in California in the second half of the twentieth century, have had on broadening the definition of art. Twenty preeminent scholars from di…verse cultural backgrounds investigate how the vast sociopolitical changes of the post-World War II era affected these women and how the ensuing events influenced the art that they produced. This book outlines the role these pivotal artists and their work played in reshaping the California cultural profile into what it is today.Illustrated with more than one hundred color plates and duotones, 'Art/Women/California 1950-2000 'reveals the richness of this fifty-year period by contrasting and comparing the artists and their varied artistic practices in relation to the larger sociopolitical context.

Their work continues to transform our perceptions and revitalize art's connections to its surrounding environment and community. Exploring the conjuncture between place and artistic activity from multiple perspectives, this book stands as a testament to the rich diversity that is contemporary California culture.'This book is a copublication with the San Jose Museum of Art' An essay collection surveying women artist's in California and their contribution to shaping the California cultural profile. It is fully illustrated and interspersed with poetry and interviews. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.
