Perhaps we may shy away from a subject that could be seen as sentimental or overly associated with idealistic constructs of femininity, nurture, and care. Whether we are mothers ourselves or we bring--or nurture--life in a wider sense, we all have some understanding of motherhood. We are all born of a woman's body. We are formed from the messy, challenging, self-denying, and transformative experiences of motherhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Giving birth to their creations, artists have represented this vital and complex subject in a variety of ways, offering insight into what motherhood might mean--its joys and challenges--and seeking to articulate its unspoken aspects. This beautiful gift book delves into the subject of motherhood as seen through the eyes of artists--including Louise Bourgeois, Frida Kahlo, Dorothea Tanning, Lucian Freud, David Hockney, Eileen Agar, and René Magritte--providing a fresh insight into maternity as a subject in art history and revealing the ways in which it has been confronted and reimagined in the last 150 years. Featuring 50 color artworks in a variety of media, this book is a celebration of motherhood in all its complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Coxon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849768374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849768375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tate Publishing(UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 6.42w x 0.64d","brand":"Ann Coxon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44130976923903,"sku":"9781849768375","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d77ad50-2a1b-4cd8-98e2-9da768253334.jpg?v=1687472322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/motherhood-ann-coxon-9781849768375","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
