Morii per la bellezza, ma ero appena
composta nella tomba
che un altro, morto per la verità,
fu disteso nello spazio accanto.
Arthur Hughes (1832-1915) | Ophelia, 1865
Donne nell'Arte | Mappa del sito
Sebbene le Artiste siano state coinvolte nella creazione artistica nel corso della storia, il loro lavoro, se confrontato con quello delle loro controparti maschili, è stato spesso offuscato, trascurato e sottovalutato.
L'assenza delle Donne dal canone dell'arte occidentale è stata oggetto di indagine e riconsiderazione sin dai primi anni '70.
L'influente saggio del 1971 di Linda Nochlin, "Perché non ci sono state grandi artiste?", ha esaminato le barriere sociali ed istituzionali che hanno impedito alla maggior parte delle donne di entrare nelle professioni artistiche nel corso della storia, ha spinto ad una nuova attenzione sulle artiste, sulla loro arte e sulle loro esperienze e ha contribuito ad ispirare il movimento artistico femminista.
Jane DeDecker | The Women's Suffrage
By Jane DeDecker / The concept of this proposed women’s monument was inspired by a letter from Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Lucretia Mott in which she wrote about the power of words and deeds:
"Every word we utter, every act we perform, waft unto innumerable circles, beyond".
I wanted to capture the collective energy from all women who have made this happen, as well as acknowledge that we still need to keep moving as we strive for equality.
When a water droplet impacts a body of water it pushes waves outward and rebounds upward as a smaller droplet. This droplet, called the daughter droplet - gains height - then falls back to the water in what is called a coalescent cascade.
This describes the height, breadth, and lasting impact of the Suffragists’ work.
Paul Verlaine | Piange nel mio cuore / Tears fall in my heart, 1874
Piange nel mio cuore
Come piove sulla città.
Cos’è questo languore
Che penetra il mio cuore?
O dolce brusio della pioggia
A terra e sopra i tetti!
Per un cuore che si annoia
Oh il canto della pioggia!
Gustave Caillebotte | Jour de pluie à Paris, 1877 | The Art Institute of Chicago
