Zandy orchestrates the voices of nine artists--K�the Kollwitz and Elizabeth Catlett, Ruth Asawa and Marilyn Anderson, Milton Rogovin and Jens S. Jensen, Mark Rogovin and muralism, Ralph Fasanella, and Raymond Mason--whose work aligns with the histories and living conditions of working-class people. These paired portraits open larger conversations about class and artistic formation, intent, and accessibility. Zandy presents a model for writing about art in an inclusive, theoretically informed, and creatively constructed way. Art, as Zandy shows, is not a rare fruit to be plucked by the chosen few. Art is a human necessity and crucial for the sustenance of democracy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmbitious and original, \u003ci\u003eWorking-Class Girls Don't Become Artists\u003c\/i\u003e rewrites art history from a working-class perspective.","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47966584963223,"sku":"9780252089398","price":2847.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780252089398.webp?v=1782911400","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/working-class-girls-dont-become-artists-looking-at-art-and-class-9780252089398","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
