Table of Contents
The book about this artist’s life, work, times is also an indictment of domestic violence and silence around women who are killed.
This cultural biography is also a primer on 1960s and 70s feminism.
Mendieta is a major figure in contemporary art, though much lesser known than many of her peers. Also discussed in the book are William Burroughs, Jackson Pollack, Frida Kahlo, Valerie Solanas, Carolee Schneemann, and others.
This engaging graphic biography will initiate readers to Mendieta’s life and work, and the notorious acquittal of her husband, minimalist artist Carl Andre, for her murder.
The artist is one of few Cuban Americans to have success in the contemporary art world, and to be collected by major museums around the world.
Cultural critic Lucy Lippard, who has a significant readership, had a personal relationship to Ana Mendieta, and writes about it for the first time.
The first book in the Blind Spot series, aimed at introducing significant feminist figures to new generations.
