Looking at art made by women means exploring the history of women as artists. This means examining the difference between women’s and men’s access to professional training and the institutions of the art world, as well as considering the wider social influences shaping women’s lives and the approaches adopted by critics and historians writing about women.

This 4-session course on Thursday evenings, led by  Deborah Cherry, Professor of Art History, University of Sussex and author of Beyond the Frame: Feminism and Visual Culture (2000) and Jane Beckett Professor of Contemporary British Art,  University of New York examines the rich diversity of women’s work in Britain from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. Themes will include the politics of art history, gender and culture, and links and echoes in women’s practice. The course will also consider recent artistic and curatorial strategies, and review the role of feminism in shaping an understanding of historic and contemporary work.
