The artistic media includes painting, sculpture, architecture, textiles, and photography. The book is broadly concerned with four salient questions: How unusual was it for women to engage directly with art? What factors precluded more women from doing so? In what ways did women's artwork or commissions differ from those of men? And, what were the range of meanings for woman as subject matter? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters deal with historic individuals about whom there is considerable biographical information. Beyond locating these uncommon women within their socio-cultural milieux, contributors consider the multiple strands that twined to comprise their complex identities, and how these impacted their works of art. In many cases, the woman's status-as wife, mother, widow, ruler, or concubine (and multiple combinations thereof), as well as her religion and lineage-determined the media, style, and content of her art. \u003cem\u003eWomen, Gender and Art in Asia, c. 1500-1900\u003c\/em\u003e adds to our understanding of works of art, their meanings, and functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meliabelli Bose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472464265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472464262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Meliabelli Bose","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46070279766271,"sku":"9781472464262","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57f50086-d95a-48a5-8553-1a545e58d5fd.jpg?v=1724242791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-gender-and-art-in-meliabelli-bose-9781472464262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
