One of these rules was that women artists did not paint nudes. Yet three women would challenge this prohibition, offering their own distinct takes on the classic genre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuzanne Valadon, ?milie Charmy and Marie Vassilieff painted in different styles, but they were united in their fascination for the nude. Their artistic explorations saw them experimenting with a range of cutting-edge subjects, including the male nude, the Black female nude, the pregnant nude and the nude self-portrait, a genre that few artists would tackle until half a century later. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePainting her pleasure situates the work of Valadon, Charmy and Vassilieff within and against modernism, drawing parallels with later feminist artists and philosophers. Unravelling the complexities of early twentieth-century gender regimes and persistent cultural stereotypes, it provides an illuminating history of women, sexuality and the body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren Jimerson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526184966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526184962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.45h x 6.69w x 0.81d","brand":"Lauren Jimerson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721561362687,"sku":"9781526184962","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f87acbb-3153-46fc-a605-f754bbea9c2c.jpg?v=1742753233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/painting-her-pleasure-lauren-jimerson-9781526184962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
