Author Glenn Harcourt uses several case studies brought to the fore by American painter Pamela Joseph in her recent "Censored" series. Harcourt's rigorous, culturally-measured and art historical approach complements Joseph's appropriation of these censored images as feminist critique. Harcourt argues that her work serves as a window toward larger questions in art. These include an examination of the evolution of abstraction; the role of women in western society, as seen through the history of painting the body; the effects of western art on cultures outside the west (sometimes referred to in Iran as 'west-toxication'); and how artists in non-western countries, specifically those in Iran living under rules of censorship that specifically prohibit representation of the body, engage with the history of western art found in the censored books. 600 10 $a Joseph, Pamela, $d 1942- 650 0 $a Art $x Censorship. 650 0 $a Nude in art $x Censorship. 650 0 $a Freedom and art. 650 0 $a Censorship $z Iran. 650 0 $a Orientalism. 650 0 $a Art, Iranian $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Women artists. 650 0 $a Women in art. 650 0 $a Art and society. 700 1 $a Naumann, Francis M. 700 1 $a Joseph, Pamela, $d 1942- . 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017012753.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180502010511.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20171206010731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27F12F28DA5311E7BD35112897128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
