Reviews
Painting the Difference complicates routine assumptions about the sexism of male artists and viewers, and raises useful questions about the history of seeing., " Painting the Difference offers a gripping interpretation of nineteenth- and twentieth-century images, mostly paintings, mostly of women. The artists Harrison discusses are modernist icons: Renoir, Manet, Cézanne, Degas, Morisot, Cassatt, Picasso, Matisse, Bonnard, and Rothko. But he brings these canonical painters into entirely fresh focus by showing how their techniques develop from a driving concern with the question of just who is seeing what paintings reveal. Harrison''s central claim is that this self-consciousness arises from a sustained confrontation with the social domination at work in the male regard, including the painter''s regard, that shapes the appearance of women''s bodies in modern life."-Gregg M. Horowitz, Modernism/Modernity, Painting the Difference puts forward a novel theory of the evolution of certain key works in the Modernist canon. This highly original book will be of keen interest to art history, cultural studies, and gender studies. A model of lucidity, and direct in its treatment of a difficult topic, Painting the Difference advances a bold theory of modern art of considerable relevance and importance., Taken together these chapters serve to demonstrate how careful looking can provide new insight into the making and meaning of iconic works. Conceptually challenging and rich in detail, this is an attractive volume with a generous number of illustrations, both in color and black and white, that help to support the author's claims and argument., "Painting the Differenceputs forward a novel theory of the evolution of certain key works in the Modernist canon.

Painting, in Harrison''s keen critical gaze, is a way of thinking new thoughts about sex, gender, and the embodied spectator. Harrison allows paintings to surprise us, to call us out, and reawaken our wonder at the labyrinth of images of sexual difference. A crucial text for art historians, and for anyone interested in sexuality in the field of visual representation."--W. J. T.

Shipped & delivered quickly. I'm happy with the purchase and the price. 'Very good condition' was a little inaccurate. The book pages were intact and not too yellowed (impressive for its age). Cover largely undamaged BUT there was a sticker on the front cover in a prominent place that was half-peeled off, which had torn the cover. The peeled adhesive was covered in black hair and fibres, which was kind of gross. Would still buy from seller again regardless.
