{"product_id":"working-class-girls-dont-become-artists-janet-zandy-9780252089398","title":"Working-Class Girls Don't Become Artists: Looking at Art and Class","description":"Writing from a working-class perspective, Janet Zandy links labor and art to challenge the unnamed class biases in systems of art curation, categorization and expertise. Zandy orchestrates the voices of nine artists--Käthe Kollwitz and Elizabeth Catlett, Ruth Asawa and Marilyn Anderson, Milton Rogovin and Jens S. Jensen, Mark Rogovin and muralism, Ralph Fasanella, and Raymond Mason--whose work aligns with the histories and living conditions of working-class people. These paired portraits open larger conversations about class and artistic formation, intent, and accessibility. Zandy presents a model for writing about art in an inclusive, theoretically informed, and creatively constructed way. Art, as Zandy shows, is not a rare fruit to be plucked by the chosen few. Art is a human necessity and crucial for the sustenance of democracy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmbitious and original, \u003ci\u003eWorking-Class Girls Don't Become Artists\u003c\/i\u003e rewrites art history from a working-class perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Zandy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252089391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252089398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Janet Zandy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487479771391,"sku":"9780252089398","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e4a3e85-8d11-48a7-b5cf-5cedf34b4b03.jpg?v=1778060684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/working-class-girls-dont-become-artists-janet-zandy-9780252089398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
