# The Female Gaze in Art and Photography - Hardcover

by **Anita Selzer** (Author)

**Historically, male artists have re-presented women through their eyes. _The Female Gaze in Art and Photography_ redresses this imbalance, looks at art through women's eyes.** It shines a light on the work of twenty contemporary women artists and photographers from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and United States of America, placing these creatives and their works center stage.

_The Female Gaze in Art and Photography_ offers an empathetic re-presentation of women, men and those identifying as LGBQTIA+. The art and photography covered is also thematic, addressing issues affecting our lives today: love and loss; lifecycle of women; motherhood; gender, sexual and racial identity; the fractured self; autonomy and agency; strength, resilience and vulnerability; relationships; racism; marginalization and diversity; feminism; migration and dispossession; and climate change among others.

_The Female Gaze_ sits alongside and is a valuable addition to Charlotte Jansen's _Girl on Girl_ and Katy Hessel's The Story of Art Without Men, showcasing the talent of women creatives in today's world of art and photography.
