The Story of Art without Men, Katy Hessel

Join us at Sweet Basil in Carrollton on April 23 at 6:30 to discuss a ground-breaking book, The Story of Art without Men by Katy Hessel.

Part revisionist history, part coffee-table book, part collective portrait, part archival treasure hunt, Hessel’s treatise covers the 1500s to the present in an attempt to make good on its title. But despite her best efforts, men can’t help appearing throughout, as rich husbands, abusive boyfriends, artist fathers, needy sons, muse-hungry painters, institutions and even that supreme male gaze, God’s.

From the beginning Hessel warns “this is not a definitive history — it would be an impossible task,” and acknowledges the challenges of her broad-stroked approach: the complications of fitting individuals into sanctioned aesthetic movements; the sensitivities around the vexed category of “woman artists,” which for Hessel is no longer a “derogatory” term but “an embodiment of power”; and the ever-evolving status of these distinctions in our present and future.

We look forward to a great discussion.
