Jennifer Higgie / Crossing #10 (The Empress)
Part of the Public programme "The Fortress of Crossed Destinies" curated by Marina Fokidis at the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts. "The Mirror and the Palette: 500 Years of Women's Self-Portraits" Book presentation by writer Jennifer Higgie "Until the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility." Novelist, screenwriter and art critic Jennifer Higgie presents her latest book, The Mirror and the Palette, which focuses on the history of female self-portraiture from the 16th century until 1980. Exploring a cross-section of artists from Europe, the US, India, Australia and New Zealand, and filled with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel and tragedy, the book is a testament to the fact that there's more than one way to live a life –and more than one way to make art about it. https://www.summeracademy.at/en/kurse/crossing-10-book-presentation-by-jennifer-higgie/
