Shifting Priorities

Nanette Salomon is Professor of the History of Art at the College of Staten Island of the City University of New York.

"This book will take a place at the forefront of studies of Dutch genre painting and of feminist art history and visual culture, setting new paradigms for these fields. Shifting Priorities is a sophisticated work of sustained originality, sharp intelligence, and sure judgments of how paintings operated as a negotiation of social discourses, historical shifts, and relations of both class and gender." - Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds "With an emphasis on methodological shifts, this book adds a distinctive voice to the recent outpouring of publications on Dutch genre painting. As a focused historiography of some of the changes that continue to alter the scholarship of Netherlandish art, Shifting Priorities demonstrates how intellectually lively and contested our terrain remains." - Historians of Netherlandish Art Book Reviews "This book of essays will remain an important and lasting contribution, both for students of Dutch art and for students of methodology." - Seventeenth-Century News
