Women in the studio: representing professional identity -- "Why are you no longer my brothers?" The Fraternite des arts and the female artist in Marceline Desbordes-Valmore's L'atelier d'un peintre -- Sisterhood in/as the studio: Anna Mary Howitt's sisters in art -- Visualizing imagined communities: lessons of the female artist in Staël, Owenson, and Lescot -- Revolutionary identities: painting and resistance in Owenson's The princess; or the beguine -- Angelique Arnaud's Clemence: art, revolution, and Saint-Simonianism -- Margaret Gillies and the miniature: portraits of radical engagement -- Brontë's portraits of romantic resistance: The tenant of Wildfell Hall -- From margin to center: Sand's portraits of difference.
Summary: This title focuses on a decisive period in the process of professional self-invention and maps out the concrete and symbolic roles played by women painters, real and fictional, in the construction of female artistic identity in the aesthetic and the public spheres. The author examines the diverse and complex ways canonical and non-canonical women painters and novelists - including Anne Bronte, Sydney Owenson, Margaret Gillies, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, George Sand, and Hortense Haudebourt-Lescot - figured and brought forth the radical image of a female subject representing the world.--Publisher.
