Reframed: The Woman In the Window

Jennifer Sliwka

0/5 ( ratings)

The ‘woman in the window’ is an engaging artistic motif that has been used for over 3,000 years. Taking you on a visual journey, across chronological and geographic boundaries, this book demonstrates how artists have long used the window as a device for framing and presenting a female figure to the viewer. These are works that dramatize ways of seeing and being seen, often casting the beholder in a particular role and implicating them in a narrative.

Written by the exhibition’s Curator, Dr. Jennifer Sliwka, the fully illustrated catalogue accompanies Reframed: The Woman in the Window, exhibited at Dulwich Picture Gallery 4 May - 4 September 2022.

Language: English

Pages: 116
