Sinossi
In a new publication Renée Radell – Web of Circumstance , award-winning author Eleanor Heartney opens with a now-famous challenge by legendary feminist art historian Linda Nochlin "Why have there been no great women artists". While fully aware that great women artists have long existed, Nochlin jolted the art world in a 1971 ArtNews article with this explicit provocation, setting the stage for a serious dialogue resounding to this very day about barriers women artists face in an uneven playing field.The subject of this beautifully composed classical monograph, New York-based artist Renée Radell, is an American figurative expressionist painter with roots in Detroit who first received critical acclaim in the 1960s for insightful perceptions of social unrest juxtaposed with unconventional images of American family life. Heartney finds ample material in Radell’s extensive oeuvre to re-discover schooled artistic integrity and to unearth complex philosophical subject matter that has become a compelling differentiating factor for this painter now in her ninth decade.Heartney organizes her discussion by threads of recurring themes found in Radell’s work, ranging from life’s cycle, social hierarchies, political machinations, freedom and choice, community and isolation, hope and despair, religion and spirituality, and myth and allegory. Sometimes satirical, sometimes humorous, often tragic, yet always intellectually piercing, Radell's powerful works demonstrate remarkable vitality and are increasingly germane to today’s society.The book includes a full reprint from an article by T.S. Eliot biographer and political theorist Russell Kirk, entitled "Renée Radell - She Paints Confusion in Search of Order", first published in The Detroit News Sunday News Magazine in 1974. Therein, Kirk parallels imagery in Radell’s paintings with poetic metaphors from Eliot verse about “the permanent things” in the human circumstance.
