Made at a time when Spero was a key member of the anti-war and feminist arts-activism that burgeoned in the New York art world during the period, her works demonstrate a violent and bodily rejection of injustice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConsidering the ways in which anti-war and feminist art used emotion as a means to persuade and protest, \u003ci\u003ePain and Politics in Postwar Feminist Art \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the history of this crucial decade in American art politics through close attention to Spero's practice. Situating her work amongst the activism that defined the era, this book examines the ways in which sensation and emotion became political weapons for a generation of artists seeking to oppose patriarchy and war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExemplary of the way in which artists were using metaphors of sensation and emotion in their work as part of the anti-Vietnam war and feminist art movements in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Spero's practice acts as a model for representing how politics feels. By exploring Spero's political engagement anew, this book offer a profound recontextualization of the important contribution that Spero made to Feminist thought, politics and art in the US.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Warriner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350286540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350286542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Rachel Warriner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305163800831,"sku":"9781350286542","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01685312-77a1-440b-b54b-b9367cc947e0.jpg?v=1758830144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pain-and-politics-in-postwar-rachel-warriner-9781350286542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
