However, the artists connected with interwar Vienna?s ?female Secession? created craft-based artworks that may be understood as sites of feminist resistance. In this book, historian Megan Brandow-Faller tells the story of how these artists disrupted long-established boundaries by working to dislodge fixed oppositions between ?art? and ?craft,? ?decorative? and ?profound,? and ?masculine? and ?feminine? in art. Tracing the history of the women?s art movement in Secessionist Vienna?from its origins in 1897, at the Women?s Academy, to the Association of Austrian Women Artists and its radical offshoot, the Wiener Frauenkunst?Brandow-Faller tells the compelling story of a movement that reclaimed the stereotypes attached to the idea of Frauenkunst, or women?s art. She shows how generational struggles and diverging artistic philosophies of art, craft, and design drove the conservative and radical wings of Austria?s women?s art movement apart and explores the ways female artists and craftswomen reinterpreted and extended the Klimt Group?s ideas in the interwar years. Brandow-Faller draws a direct connection to the themes that impelled the better-known explosion of feminist art in 1970s America. In this provocative story of a Viennese modernism that never disavowed its ornamental, decorative roots, she gives careful attention to key primary sources, including photographs and reviews of early twentieth-century exhibitions and archival records of school curricula and personnel. Engagingly written and featuring more than eighty representative illustrations, The Female Secession recaptures the radical potential of what Fanny Harlfinger-Zakucka referred to as ?works from women?s hands.? It will appeal to art historians working in the decorative arts and modernism as well as historians of Secession-era Vienna and gender history. 606 $aWomen artists$xEducation$zAustria$zVienna$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen artists$xEducation$zAustria$zVienna$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArt, Austrian$y20th century 606 $aWomen artists$zAustria$zVienna$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen artists$zAustria$zVienna$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aDecorative arts$zAustria$zVienna$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDecorative arts$zAustria$zVienna$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArt, Austrian$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen artists$xEducation$xHistory 615 0$aWomen artists$xEducation$xHistory 615 0$aArt, Austrian 615 0$aWomen artists$xHistory 615 0$aWomen artists$xHistory 615 0$aDecorative arts$xHistory 615 0$aDecorative arts$xHistory 615 0$aArt, Austrian 676 $a704.0420943613 700 $aBrandow-Faller$b Megan$01048199 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480706103321 996 $aThe female Secession$92476326 997 $aUNINA
