Description
This sculpture is an altered copy of an 8th edition Janson’s History of Art, a current version of one of the most popular art history textbooks. Art depicting the pursuit and assault of women is featured heavily in this textbook. Conceptually, History Written by Men interrogates the prevalence of misogynistic visual traditions in both historical contexts and contemporary ones like art history curriculum.
