Walker\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Routledge\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Routledge\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: Individual Artists - General\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn original and valuable intervention in the fast-growing field of feminist and new art histories, Nancy Spero, Encounters offers a sophisticated interpretation of the work of a highly original and under-represented woman artist. The study proposes a new model of comparatism within the field of visual studies, mirroring and complementing Spero's dialogic manner of working. Basing her analyses on extensive research and multiple face-to-face interviews with the artist, Joanna Walker examines how a selection of the artists and art forms Spero cited offer significant points of comparison with her work. Walker presents Spero's encounters with the art of Ana Mendieta; with the poetry of the American poet H.D.; with the dance of Isadora Duncan; and, turning the lens back on Spero as subject, with the portraits of the artist by Abe Frajndlich. Also included are transcripts of Walker's interviews with the artist, and a listing of the books contained in Spero's personal library which informed her practice. Not only does this book cast well-deserved light on an artist who spent most of her career on the margins of the mainstream - it reverses genealogies and revises the traditional remit of the art historical monograph through both its structure and content.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46931269615767,"sku":"9781138268487","price":4648.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138268487.webp?v=1771612120","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nancy-spero-encounters-9781138268487","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
