The art and films of Lynn Hershman Leeson : secret agents, private I by Meredith Tromble( )

19 editions published between 2005 and 2006 in English and held by 1,430 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Lynn Hershman Leeson s groundbreaking installation, performance, photography, video, digital, and film works have earned her an international reputation as a prodigious and innovative artist. This first historical and critical analysis of her work by prominent scholars and the artist herself brings nearly forty years of creative output into focus by tracking the development of her constant themes through each medium. The provocative essays in this volume, ranging from formal to theoretical to psychological to poetical analyses, establish her place at the forefront of contemporary art. Hershman Leeson s work explores vision, spectatorship, and the construction of sexed subjectivity, touching on key feminist concerns relating to the lived experience of the physical body and the body as a medium on which social law and values are inscribed. Her projects of self-analysis and self mythification explode stable notions of identity. The Art and Films of Lynn Hershman Leeson demonstrates how Hershman Leeson s work uniquely mirrors fragmented human subjectivity at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Especially useful are the artist's updated chronology and a DVD with excerpts from several of her works. Copub: Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington

Imogen! : Imogen Cunningham photographs, 1910-1973 by Imogen Cunningham( Book )

5 editions published in 1974 in English and held by 808 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Imogen Cunningham took her first photograph in Seatle, in 1901, a year before Alfred Stieglitz founded the Photo-Secession in New York. Her career is thus one of the longest in the annals of American photography. It reaches back to the period of fin-de-siècle estheticism, when the pictorial artifice of the nineties was still a paramount force, and yet continues to prosper in the very different world of the nineteen-seventies. Like Paul Strand's, her work has a double claim on our attention. It belongs to history and at the same time it is part of the contemporary scene. On both counts, it is of exceptional interest."--Page 4 de la couverture
