Girl on Girl: Art and Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze

Regular price $22.50

By Charlotte Jansen

Girl on Girl looks at how women are using photography, the internet and the female gaze to explore self–image and female identity in contemporary art.

A new generation of women is taking the art world – online and offline – by storm.

In an image-obsessed culture saturated with social media, these 40 artists are using photography and the female gaze to redefine the fields of fashion, art, advertising, and photojournalism, making a profound impact on our visual world.

Forty artists are featured, all of whose principal subject matter is either themselves or other women. Each is accompanied by a short profile based on personal interviews with the author, giving a fascinating insight into this exciting shift in female creativity.
