Abstract:
"This publication, the first to focus on self-portraits by Canadian historical woman artists, features paintings, textiles, drawings, prints, photographs, and film from the late 1700s to the early 1960s. Drawing upon our fascination with self-portraiture, The Artist Herself: Self- Portraits by Canadian Historical Women Artists expands the genre's definition by moving beyond the human face to propose other forms of self-representation, from both settler and Indigenous perspectives. These works reveal how Canadian women artists have given profound expression to their personal, familial and communal identities across cultures, media, and time." Back cover
