Description
Girl on Girl looks at how women are using photography, the internet and the female gaze to explore self-image and female identity in contemporary art. A new generation of women is taking the art world - online and offline - by storm. In an image-obsessed culture saturated with social media, these 40 artists are using photography and the female gaze to redefine the fields of fashion, art, advertising and photojournalism, making a profound impact on our visual world. Forty artists are featured, all of whose principal subject matter is either themselves or other women. Each is accompanied by a short profile based on personal interviews with the author, giving a fascinating insight into this exciting shift in female creativity.
