The document discusses the historical objectification and marginalization of women in visual art through nude depictions based on the male gaze. It outlines feminist art movements in the 1970s that aimed to create art reflecting women's experiences and lives to bring more visibility to women artists and change the foundation of art. Specific feminist artists mentioned include Judy Chicago, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jenny Saville, and Vanessa Tiegs, whose works explored themes of female achievement, the female body, birth, and menstruation.

INTRODUCTION:
FEMINISM AND
ART IN THE
TWENTIETH
CENTURY
BY NORMA BROUDE AND MARY D. GARRARD
What is feminist art? In the early 1970s, artists, critics, and his
torians who were part of the feminist movement believed that,
like the women’s movement itself, art made by feminist women
represented a radical new beginning, a Part Two in the history
of Western culture to complement the largely masculine history
that would now become Part One. The goal of feminism, said
early spokeswomen, was to change the nature of art itself, to
transform culture in sweeping and permanent ways by introduc
ing into it the heretofore suppressed perspective of women.1 In
the new world order that would follow —Part Three —there
would be gender balance in art and culture, and “universality”
would represent the experiences and dreams of both females
and males.
Twenty years later, we may smile at so utopian a vision, hav
ing learned that there is no such thing as a singular female
perspective; that not all art by women is feminist, not even all
art made by women who are feminists; having lived to see the
Feminist Art movement of the 1970s contextualized by critics
and historians as just another avant-garde movement followed by
other movements; and finding ourselves in a period that is
chillingly (to feminists) called “postfeminist,” in which self-
defined feminist art continues to be made, but in forms that dif
fer radically from their 1970s predecessors.
How then do we situate the Feminist Art movement on the
broader stage, conceptually and historically? Is it merely another
phase of avant-garde? Or is it not, rather, to borrow a phrase
that has been used to describe the cultural climate of the 1960s,
“one of those deep-seated shifts of sensibility that alter the
whole terrain”?2 The feminist critic Lucy R. Lippard argued
persuasively in 1980 that feminist art was “neither a style nor a
movement,” but instead “a value system, a revolutionary strat
egy, a way of life,” like Dada and Surrealism and other nonstyles
that have “continued to pervade all movements and styles ever
since.”3 What was revolutionary in feminist art, Lippard ex
plained, was not its forms but its content. Feminist artists’
insistence on prioritizing experience and meaning over form
and style was itself a challenge to the modernist valorization of
"progress” and style development: “in endlessly different ways,”
wrote Lippard, “the best women artists have resisted the tread
mill to progress by simply disregarding a history that was not
theirs. Thus the agenda of feminist art could not be subsumed
into that of modernism, and the very appearance of feminist art
as early as 1970 was a distant early warning that modernism,
and its theoretical commitment to formal values alone, was des
tined to become a finite historical stage, in this case to be
replaced by postmodernism.

WHY HAVE THERE
BEEN NO GREAT
WOMEN ARTISTS?*
By
Linda Nochlin
Linda Nochlin, professor of art history at Vassar College,
recently published a major text on realism (Penguin).
Her specialty is Courbet and nineteenth century French
art, but she has written on a range of subjects from
Grunewald to modern art.
Why have there been no great women artists? The ques-
tion is crucial, not merely to women, and not only for
social or ethical reasons, but for purely intellectual ones
as well. If, as John Stuart Mill so rightly suggested, we
tend to accept whatever is as "natural," 1 this is just as true
in the realm of academic investigation as it is in our social
arrangements: the white Western male viewpoint, uncon-
sciously accepted as the viewpoint of the art historian, is
proving to be inadequate. At a moment when all disciplines
are becoming more self-conscious—more aware of the na-
ture of their presuppositions as exhibited in their own
languages and structures—the current uncritical acceptance
of "what is" as "natural" may be intellectually fatal. Just
as Mill saw male domination as one of many social in-

justices that had to be overcome if a truly just social order
were to be created, so we may see the unconscious domina-
tion of a white male subjectivity as one among many in-
tellectual distortions which must be corrected in order to
achieve a more adequate and accurate view of history.
A feminist critique of the discipline of art history is
needed which can pierce cultural-ideological limitations,
to reveal biases and inadequacies not merely in regard to
the question of women artists, but in the formulation of
the crucial questions of the discipline as a whole. Thus
the so-called woman question, far from being a peripheral
subissue, can become a catalyst, a potent intellectual in-
strument, probing the most basic and "natural" assump-
tions, providing a paradigm for other kinds of internal
questioning, and providing links with paradigms established
by radical approaches in other fields. A simple question
like "Why have there been no great women artists?" can,
if answered adequately, create a chain reaction, expanding
to encompass every accepted assumption of the field, and
then outward to embrace history and the social sciences
or even psychology and literature, and thereby, from the
very outset, to challenge traditional divisions of intellectual
inquiry.
The assumptions lying behind the question "Why have
there been no great women artists?" are varied in range
and sophistication. They run from "scientifically" proven
demonstrations of the inability of human beings with
wombs rather than penises to create anything significant,
to relatively open-minded wonderment that women, de-
spite so many years of near equality, have.

Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?
by
Linda Nochlin
"Why have there been no great women artists?" The question tolls reproachfully in the background of most
discussions of the so-called woman problem. But like so many other so-called questions involved in the
feminist "controversy," it falsifies the nature of the issue at the same time that it insidiously supplies its
own answer: "There are no great women artists because women are incapable of greatness."
The assumptions behind such a question are varied in range and sophistication, running anywhere from
"scientifically proven" demonstrations of the inability of human beings with wombs rather than penises to
create anything significant, to relatively open minded wonderment that women, despite so many years of
near equality and after all, a lot of men have had their disadvantages too have still not achieved anything of
exceptional significance in the visual arts.
The feminist's first reaction is to swallow the bait, hook, line and sinker, and to attempt to answer the
question as it is put: that is, to dig up examples of worthy or insufficiently appreciated women artists
throughout history; to rehabilitate rather modest, if interesting and productive careers; to "rediscover"
forgotten flower painters or David followers and make out a case for them; to demonstrate that Berthe
Morisot was really less dependent upon Manet than one had been led to think-in other words, to engage in
the normal activity of the specialist scholar who makes a case for the importance of his very own neglected
or minor master. Such attempts, whether undertaken from a feminist point of view, like the ambitious
article on women artists which appeared in the 1858 Westminster Review, or more recent scholarly studies
on such artists as Angelica Kauffmann and Artemisia Gentileschi, are certainly worth the effort, both in
adding to our knowledge of women's achievement and of art history generally. But they do nothing to
question the assumptions lying behind the question "Why have there been no great women artists?" On the
contrary, by attempting to answer it, they tacitly reinforce its negative implications.
Another attempt to answer the question involves shifting the ground slightly and asserting, as some
contemporary feminists do, that there is a different kind of "greatness" for women's art than for men's,
thereby postulating the existence of a distinctive and recognizable feminine style, different both in its
formal and its expressive qualities and based on the special character of women's situation and experience.
This, on the surface of it, seems reasonable enough: in general, women's experience and situation in
society, and hence as artists, is different from men's, and certainly the art produced by a group of
consciously united and purposefully articulate women intent on bodying forth a group consciousness of
feminine experience might indeed be stylistically identifiable as feminist, if not feminine, art..

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
