Review the key artworks from this Unit with an eye to gender. Select three artworks, each from a different Class, that address issues of gender to consider this theme. In what ways do constructions of gender shape what it means to be an artist, the demands of artistic production, and what is represented in art? Please address the goals of the artist, the original audience, and how the work responds to the particular conditions of the culture in which it was created. Strong answers will engage with readings from the Unit that speak to this theme.The Artworks I have chosenMarcel Duchamp, FOUNTAIN , 1917. [Fig. 19-16]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmjSUyyc-3M&ab_channel=SmarthistoryJudy Chicago, THE DINNER PARTY, 1974-1979. Artemisia Gentileschi, JUDITH BEHEADING HOLOFERNES , 2B. This course has taken care to introduce you to artwork created around the world, rather than focusing on traditional art history, i.e. the development of European art. We have studied canonical objects from the European tradition alongside works from outside of Europe. We have also seen a number of cross-cultural exchanges as artists are influenced and inspired by art from other countries and other periods. Select three artworks from any Unit that represent art from the Americas or Africa, Asia, and Europe or the U.S. How does each object reflect the unique cultural context of its creation? How do the three objects illustrate cultural exchange, globalization, colonialism, or response to traditional artistic or cultural values?
