Gouma-Peterson, Thalia; Schapiro, Miriam Miriam Schapiro: Shaping the Fragments of Art and Life
0810943778 / 9780810943773; A pioneering force in the feminist art movement of the 1970's, Miriam Schapiro (b. 1923) dared to challenge the marginalized role of women in the art world by creating a visual vocabulary to express women's experiences. In this lavishly illustrated book, the first comprehensive monograph on the artist, acclaimed art historian Thalia Gouma-Peterson traces the trajectory of Schapiro's career over five decades. She begins with her gestural canvases of the 1950's to self-exploratory "Shrines" and geometric abstractions of the 1960s, to her large-scale femmage (feminist-oriented collages of paint and fabric) in the 1970s and 1980s, and finally to her autobiographical figural compositions of the 1980s and 1990s. There is so much more than there is room to describe! 125 illustrations, 75 plates in full color. A fascinating, colorful book. The binding is orange cloth with lettering in a satin-feel lavender. 160 pages, including notes, bibliography, exhibition chronology, and index. The bottom front of this very heavy jacket is bent up a bit where the jacket is folded over to the inside. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
