Burkhauser, Jude Glasgow Girls: Women in Art and Design 1880-1920
Canongate Pub Ltd 1993 0-86241-413-X / 9780862414139 Paperback
Condition good. 0-86241-413-X, 086241413X.At the turn of the century, Glasgow's economic prosperity kindled a surge of avant-garde artistic activity. From the Glasgow School of Art, there emerged a distinctive Art Nouveau style, known as the Glasgow Style, manifested in architecture, interior design, and decorative arts. The Glaswegian women then associated with the school were key innovators of this movement. Inexcusably forgotten by art historians, their male counterparts, dubbed the "Glasgow Boys," eventually achieved lasting recognition. First published in Britain in conjunction with a 1990 exhibition of their artworks, this timely study aims to reestablish an awareness of these talented women within the context of feminist theory. Gorgeous illustrations of their paintings and designs and striking photographs from the period accompany intelligent essays by 20 scholars that document their contributions and struggles. This treasure-trove of unfamiliar material is highly recommended for women's studies and art history collections.
