The Deconstructive Impulse Fine Arts
Feminist Exhibition at Neuberger Museum
By: - Dec 30th, 2010For years, the prevailing belief has been that following the identity-based artwork of the late 1960s and early 1970s, progressive women artists put aside their differences with men to help them reveal how the mass media and global capitalism control visual culture.
