Feminism: Art with a gender perspective

By Esther Tauroni Bernabéu

The present issue is a mechanism of change in the reading of art so that beyond dates and bibliographical data that tend to trivialize the study of gender, it proposes women as protagonists, destroying the totalizing model and establishing a feminist historiography.By delving into the turbulent lives of some artists educated in the myth of romantic love, analysing objectified images of women created at the whim of patriarchy, delving into myths and legends that hide sexual abuse and rape, or studying works created by women whose value has been made invisible simply because they were produced by women, we understand that throughout history women have been and are an object in the service of patriarchy. The study of art and its relationship with women has just begun. There are many biographies that must be redone with other parameters and much gender perspective to apply to art. This is therefore a new, risky version that wishes not to leave anyone indifferent, for better or for worse.We are used to relating gender violence with murder, ignoring that which is exercised from other spheres such as the family, sexual, economic, intellectual, physical, historical, academic, institutional, cultural, religious or political. It is this author's desire to put all these issues on the table by creating debate and criticism and, by bringing works of art closer to society as a tool in training in equality. Education is the only way to put an end to male violence.I hope that, at the end of this book, we will feel the art closer to us and we will guess in the works that will be put before our eyes to men and women, first of all to people, victims of a patriarchal society.
