Written in an era of thriving feminist theory, as well as queer theory, race and postcolonial studies, ‘Thirty Years After’ is a striking reflection on the emergence of a whole new canon. Nochlin refused to handle the question of why there had been no great women artists on its own, corrupted, terms. In this stand-alone anniversary edition, Nochlin’s essay is published alongside its reappraisal, ‘Thirty Years After’. Linda Nochlins seminal essay on women artists is widely acknowledged as the first real attempt at a feminist history of art. Freedom, as she sees it, requires women to risk entirely demolishing the art world’s institutions, and rebuilding them anew – in other words, to leap into the unknown. With unparalleled insight and startling wit, Nochlin laid bare the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art historical thought as not merely a moral failure, but an intellectual one. Instead, she dismantled the very concept of ‘greatness’, unravelling the basic assumptions that had centred a male-coded ‘genius’ in the study of art. that female artists were brilliantly battling in. Nochlin refused to handle the question of why there had been no ‘great women artists’ on its own, corrupted terms. 1 day ago &0183 &32 Hessel also extends the legacy of art historian Linda Nochlin, whose legendary 1971 ARTnews essay Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists.

Kochland goodreads5/10/2023 If you want to understand how we killed the unions in this country, how we widened the income divide, stalled progress on climate change, and how our corporations bought the influence industry, all you have to do is read this book. These strategies made him and his brother David together richer than Bill Gates.īut there’s another side to this story. Now, in Kochland, Christopher Leonard has managed. The question Kochland raises is whether this. But very few people have ever heard of Koch Industries because the billionaire Koch brothers want it that way. He’s a genius businessman: patient with earnings, able to learn from his mistakes, determined that his employees develop a reverence for free-market ruthlessness, and a master disrupter. In his book The Science of Success, Charles Koch calls Market-Based Management a way for business to create a harmony of interest with society. But few people know much about Koch Industries and that’s because the billionaire Koch brothers have wanted it that way.įor five decades, CEO Charles Koch has kept Koch Industries quietly operating in deepest secrecy, with a view toward very, very long-term profits. Koch is everywhere: from the fertilizers that make our food to the chemicals that make our pipes to the synthetics that make our carpets and diapers to the Wall Street trading in all these commodities. The annual revenue of Koch Industries is bigger than that of Goldman Sachs, Facebook, and US Steel combined. Christopher Leonard’s Kochland uses the extraordinary account of how one of the biggest private companies in the world grew to be that big to tell the story of modern corporate America.
