Linda Nochlin: "The Body in Pieces: The Fragment as Metaphor of Modernity in Nineteenth-Century Art"
Friday April 15, 1994 | 06:00 -08:00 PM |

Bliss Carnochan Visitor

Linda Nochlin is Lila Acheson Wallace Professor of Modern Art at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. She was a pioneer in the field of feminist art theory, and her 1971 essay "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" is regarded by many as the publication that launched that movement. In her lecture she interpreted, iconographically and metaphorically, works of art representing partial human bodies, a trope beginning during the Enlightenment and continuing to the present.
