-WOMEN IN THE HISTORY OF ART-2 Part. (The Structuralism)

.
From the second half of the twentieth century, after claiming struggles, women gain recognition as artists. From there he outlined three clear lines of artistic production: "The Structuralism" or Feminist Art, "From a woman's body" and "Artistic Activism."
.
The "structuralism" is one of the methods used to analyze the language, culture and society in the second half of the twentieth century . Search interrelationships (structure) through which meaning is produced within a culture.
Within the meaning of a culture is produced and reproduced through various practices, phenomena and activities that serve as meaning systems. We study things as diverse as food preparation and serving rituals, religious rites, games, and literary texts, forms of entertainment, etc.
.
have been a number of women artists who were interested in searching the genealogy of knowledge (hidden, hide, ridiculed), which form the female creation. Pointing to proper feminine: sewing, cooking, home.
.
However, it is significant that the social status they have today these activities, matches the male ownership of these shares, now converted into professions.
.
This must be understood in the art using thread and needle, with allusions to the kitchen and home.




Perhaps the artist who has achieved imagery home with all the love-hate ambivalence, has been Louise Bourgeois, who performs an embodiment imaginative and emotional feel feminine at home. Bourgeois establishes a series of partnerships between the subtle threads of affection and maternal identity in the needle used to stitch together but, close, obstruct. Equates the hollows of the array with the den, the den, but also the cell, the prison. His works tell us about fertility and nutrition, but also of repression, domination.
,


This Similarly there are many artists working with the theme of home in a line of thought has been called home mythologies. For example see the work of the Egyptian artist Ghada Amer a tapestry with threads hanging colouristic as the tangle of wires emerges the image of a woman masturbating. The image conflicts with the tradition of the woman who.






Other examples might Cosima von Bonin or Tracey Emin. In his works we find that typical contradiction becomes half as sewing, traditionally linked to private and personal, one that occupies a place of public exposure.



So has also understood the series of photomontages by Martha Roesler called "House Beautiful in Vietnam", which juxtaposed images an ideal home, exits a decorating magazine for 70 years, with images of war that was while at the same time.
.




Although the most significant work in this line of work is "The Supper" Judy Chicago . This is an installation consisting of a large table in a triangular shape (the symbolic form of sex for women), which is located 39 plates of diners, all women in the arts, politics and science, to which honors. In each dish we find representations paintings and sculptures that allude to the female genital anatomy. The work is a mix between high culture (art history, science and politics) and popular culture (pottery, cooking, decoration). The theme of the panel that serves to mark historic agreements (signed peace treaties), and symbolizes the setting of a society (the Arthurian round table), coupled with its sacrificial character and Memorial (The Last Supper of Christ), used to invite history to all those women who have been forgotten.

is a vindication of their sexuality and its role in world history is not limited to waiting on tables.
