The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have—and, of course, continue to do so—often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Mirror and the Palette\u003c\/em\u003e, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it, and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel, and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity, and bravery. This is a dazzlingly original and ambitious book by one of the most well-respected art critics at work today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47599743467756,"sku":"9781474613798","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781474613798-the-mirror-and-the-palette.jpg?v=1777983599","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-mirror-and-the-palette-by-jennifer-higgie-9781474613798","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
