A Little Taste Outside of Love
Mickalene Thomas
2007
Until this point, this list has only included white male artists, with women only able to participate in art as a naked objects of desire. Mickalene Thomas, an African-American woman living in Brooklyn, subverts this trope, instead creating paintings that empower their subjects by injecting African-American voice into art history. By painting a nude in the same pose as Courbet or Manet, but one whose black identity is readily on display, Thomas forces the viewer to confront the legacy of objectification and sexism inherent in the art historical narrative.
