Description
"Gender Violence, Art, and the Viewer addresses an array of themes and will be useful to museum curators, students, and educators in gender studies, art history, classics studies, fine arts, and more. It lends momentum to a 'public reckoning' in art history to account for how violence against women and minority groups and sexual violence are glorified in revered works and are too often left unaddressed in studies of prominent artists throughout history." -Mahaliah Little,University of California, Irvine
