Francesca Woodman and the Kantian Sublime

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of aesthetics and gender, the book explores Francesca Woodman's photography through a feminist lens, connecting her to historical women artists like Julia Margaret Cameron. Rather than simply analyzing her self-portraits biographically, it presents Woodman as a conceptually advanced artist who contributes to discussions on Enlightenment aesthetics and the complexities of the sublime. This inquiry highlights the nuanced dynamics of gender within the realm of artistic expression.
