Tuesday books - Hélène Lavoyer
One is a journalist, essayist and historian, notably of feminism in the 19th and 20th centuries, the other an independent researcher and art historian. Laure Adler and Camille Viéville are two women, but above all two individuals who have joined forces in a battle that, although centuries old, has lost none of its relevance or necessity: the struggle undertaken by many women to carve out a place for themselves in fields that have always been ruled by men. In this book, published by Editions Flammarion, they draw up portraits of some fifty women creators.
For anyone interested in art, this book is a treasure trove of discoveries of new stylistic «griffes». But for all those who are interested in women's history and want to know how the how, in concrete terms, the patriarchal world has weighed heavily on her expression on her expression and integration into the world of art, this is a landmark work not to be left on bookshop shelves. And this both for its subject matter and the way and the way it is presented, in a sharp but fluid style, categorical with reason.
