In this revolutionary essay, Nochlin refused to answer the question of why there had been no “great women artists” on its own corrupted terms, and instead, she questions the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art history. Future freedom, as she saw it, requires women to risk demolishing the art world’s institutions in order to rebuild them anew. This fiftieth anniversary edition of the essay is brought together with Nochlin’s reflections in “Thirty Years After.” 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.
