A dazzlingly original and ambitious audiobook on the history of female self-portraiture by one of today's most well-respected art critics.
Until the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have—and, of course, continue to do so—often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval.
In The Mirror and the Palette, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it, and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel, and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity, and bravery.
