![]() ![]() 'Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?' has become a slogan and rallying cry that resonates across culture and society Dior even adopted it in their 2018 collections. With reference to Joan Mitchell, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman and many more, Nochlin diagnoses the state of women and art with unmatched precision and verve. Written in an era of thriving feminist theory, as well as queer theory, race and postcolonial studies, 'Thirty Years After' is a striking reflection on the emergence of a whole new canon. ![]() ![]() In this stand-alone anniversary edition, Nochlin's essay is published alongside its reappraisal, 'Thirty Years After'. ![]() Freedom, as she sees it, requires women to risk entirely demolishing the art world's institutions, and rebuilding them anew - in other words, to leap into the unknown. With unparalleled insight and startling wit, Nochlin laid bare the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art historical thought as not merely a moral failure, but an intellectual one. Instead, she dismantled the very concept of 'greatness', unravelling the basic assumptions that had centred a male-coded 'genius' in the study of art. Nochlin refused to handle the question of why there had been no 'great women artists' on its own, corrupted, terms. Linda Nochlin's seminal essay on women artists is widely acknowledged as the first real attempt at a feminist history of art. ![]()

![]() ![]() But who was the human being Albert Einstein? ![]() However, this is only one of the many legacies left by this physicist to humankind. This equation is part of the Theory of Relativity developed by Einstein, where E = energy, m = mass and c = speed of light in a vacuum. Surely you must have seen the following equation in high school: E=mc². Albert Einstein was one of the greatest physicists in history, and his theories, developed more than a hundred years ago, still influence – and greatly – the lives of billions of people in the 21st century. ![]() ![]() "Every time your heart is broken, a doorway cracks open to a world full of new beginnings, new opportunities." - Patti Roberts.But as time goes, others do do, and often do do, much much better." - Coco J.
