"Picturing Women"
Today, I happened upon the following site, by luck actually. It ties in very nicely with my own recent portrait of a young woman. I found this site very intruiging, so I thought I'd share it with you. Very informative, and an excellent look at how women have been depicted in society and culture over the years.
What constitutes female identity? How is it culturally constructed in images, artifacts and texts? What roles have these artifacts played in defining women's places in society? And how they have been pictured historically, and how they are pictured today?
Picturing Women explores how women are figured, fashioned, turned into portraits, and told about in words and pictorial narrative.
