Mary DuBose Garrard (born 1937) is an American art historian and emerita professor at American University. Best known for her groundbreaking feminist scholarship, Garrard has drawn on feminist theory and activism to illuminate and reinterpret art of the Italian Renaissance-Baroque period. Her publications include two books and other writings on Artemisia Gentileschi, work that pioneered modern scholarship on a major 17th century Italian artist; and her most recent book, Brunelleschi’s Egg: Nature, Art and Gender in Renaissance Italy (2010). With Norma Broude, she co-edited four books on feminism and art history that have become basic texts in American universities; and co-curated the recent exhibition Claiming Space: Some American Feminist Originators for the AU Museum, Katzen Arts Center. Garrard has lectured extensively on Renaissance art, feminist art, and feminist issues in universities, colleges and museums across the country. She was one of the leaders of the feminist movement in art professions, and was the second national President of Women's Caucus for Art.

Una maravilla. Y no solo por la calidad fotográfica de las obras pictóricas que recoge. Además de ofrecer un catálogo artístico y biográfico de la pintora barroca en cuestión, lo pone en contexto con el resto de producción cultural de la época y, mucho más importante aún, con la creciente conciencia feminista (protofeminista dirían los más puntillosos) de las mujeres de su generación. Gracias a ese marco contextual, el lector puede percibir los muchos matices de la personalidad de Artemisia Gentileschi mientras la sitúa junto a otras de sus coetáneas que alzaron la voz para defender sus derechos y tuvieron que enfrentar la airada indignación de los paladines del patriarcado.

Es un análisis increíble de la obra de Artemisa. Además la autora se aventura a sacar conclusiones sobre algunas obras que pusieron en duda si Artemisa era o no su creadora.
Me encantó como va relacionando la historia del Arte con la vida de Artemisa y las implicaciones del discurso feminista en sus figuras femeninas.
