FEMINIST ART

Summary/Abstract: Feminist art implies female artists’ production that identifies its activity with the feminist movements ideology or with the idea of specific female creativity in art and culture. Women’s art signifies female artworks no matter if they represent or don’t represent feminist values, beliefs, viewpoints or meanings. Postmodern decentered artistic practices arc those based on criticism of logocentrism. In high Modernist art from Impressionism to Post-Painterly Abstraction, there was no difference between male and female artistic practices. The ideal of autonomous art covered sexual and gender differences. In the Avant-Garde art from the end of XIX century and late thirties there was no separate and specific notion of feminist neo-avant-garde movements (Fluxus, Neodadaism, Happening) female artists in their experimental works pointed to the sexual differences and to the feminist contents of their work. Post Avant-Garde included innovative artistic practices such as Body Art, Processual Art, Environmental Art, Conceptual and Semio-Art. Body art and Performance became exclusive domains of female art. During seventies within the Post-Conceptual art the new ways of researching and expressing are developed. The artists in their work analyzed (emotional, sexual, intuitive, unconsciousness). Female artists wanted to break with already existing male values system and to create female value system. Post-Feminist art of eighties and nineties deals with the modes of representation, i.e., with mechanisms and channels of making the “representations”, with its distribution, control and function in establishing the dominant criteria and values of the society.
