Another History of Art
Anita Kunz
(Author)Description
What would the same paintings everyone is so familiar with look like drawn by Renée Françoise Magritte, Fiona Bacon, Davina Hockney, Leona Da Vinci, Gertrude Klimt, Henrietta Matisse, Francesca Goya, Paola Picasso, Fernanda Victoria Eugenia Delacroix, Wilhelmina Ottilia Dix, and over 50 other artists (let us not forget Vincenza Van Gogh)? Another History is your chance to find out. Included, on each page opposite the painting, is a single paragraph biography of each woman artist.
Another History of Art is a brilliantly satirical, and, yes, feminist, counterfactual history of art conceived, written, and painted by one of our most accomplished contemporary artists.

About the Author
Reviews
In an act of trickster feminism, Kunz re-envisions famous Western paintings... Playful and irreverent.-- "Publishers Weekly"
The cartoonist's humorous take on iconic pieces by René Magritte, Leonardo Da Vinci, and more. ... with Kunz's beautiful artwork.-- "Comics Beat"
Anita Kunz, illustrator extraordinaire, has had enough of male-dominated art history that is still taught in school, despite shifts in the art landscape. Another History of Art is a compliment, of sorts, to the great historical omnibuses by Sir E. H. Gombrich and H. W. Janson.--Steve Heller "Print Magazine"
