A Feminist Approach to Space: How Women "Project Their Home Environment" Through Visual Arts
Abstract
This paper reconsiders the relation established between (the
architectural) space – the house and the woman in it, or versus it.
Such a relationship is projected through visual arts, as is evident
in the examples of the selected case studies. The objective of this
thesis is to elaborate upon the idea that contemporary women
authors use “their house” as the topic of inspiration behind
works, which are quite often reminiscences of the emotional
spectrum they lived during their own childhood. Furthermore, it
also shows that through those works they establish their personal
attitude towards the notion of “house” in general. The starting
point of this paper is based on the theoretical views of Griselde
Pollock ,a feminist critic and theoretician of visual arts, and her
analyses of “the space of femininity” and the women artists in
modernism.
