Document Summary

My reflection paper is on the reading (cid:862) o(cid:373)e thoughts o(cid:374) fe(cid:373)i(cid:374)ist a(cid:396)t(cid:863) (cid:1005)9(cid:1011)(cid:1005) (cid:271)(cid:455) majo(cid:396)ie kramer (f-a-t). In this reading it reveals and thoroughly explains the purpose of feminist art. It states that (cid:862)(cid:374)ot all a (cid:449)o(cid:373)a(cid:374) a(cid:396)tist"s pai(cid:374)ti(cid:374)gs a(cid:396)e o(cid:396) should (cid:271)e fe(cid:373)i(cid:374)ist.

I believe this article is very effective because it holds power towards women. This gives women power in their art and for their art to be taking seriously. This article forces the audience to not see feminist art as weak, delicate, or just plain art. However, feminist art is an art that reached out to a specific privileged audience, sometimes known as the avant-garde.
