Modern Women Flight of Time

$65.00

This landmark publication creates a new history of modern art in Aotearoa New Zealand, exploring the vital role that women played in its creation. Profiling 44 trailblazing artists, Modern Women: Flight of Time places women at centre stage and explores their vivid responses to the transformational forces at work across five decades of the 20th century. Richly illustrated with over 120 paintings, sculptures, textiles, and works on paper, this beautifully designed book shines a light on the remarkable constellations of creativity emitted by women artists throughout this dynamic period. Bringing together an ensemble cast of familiar faces and artists who has been neglected in art history, the publication o!ers a groundbreaking, alternative, unruly history of art, which disrupts the canon of New Zealand modernism.
