Judith Noorman on The Clark podcast
In a recent episode of the Clark Art Institute podcast Iconoclast Art History, Caroline Fowler speaks with Judith Noorman about the category of the “woman artist” and its place within feminist art history. Their conversation considers both the limitations of the category and its continued strategic value.
Drawing on her research into the seventeenth-century Dutch art market, Judith discusses how entrenched assumptions about gender have shaped the interpretation of archival sources and, in turn, our understanding of women’s agency as artists, patrons, and consumers.
