Julia F. Andrews is a professor in the Department of History of Art at Ohio State University. In this video, she “presents a lecture reflecting on two intersecting themes: the rise of women as artists and as subjects for art, in the context of the evolving status of women in twentieth-century China. Against the backdrop of the nascent modern education for women and the emergence of feminism between 1910 and 1940, her presentation interrogates, in light of contemporary art world patterns and current definitions of feminism, the slowing and even regression in recognition of women as artists in subsequent years.” (from the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive’s Youtube channel.)
