![]() ![]() Written in an era of thriving feminist theory, as well as queer theory, race and postcolonial studies, 'Thirty Years After' is a striking reflection on the emergence of a whole new canon. In this stand-alone anniversary edition, Nochlin's essay is published alongside its reappraisal, 'Thirty Years After'. Freedom, as she sees it, requires women to risk entirely demolishing the art world's institutions, and rebuilding them anew - in other words, to leap into the unknown. With unparalleled insight and startling wit, Nochlin laid bare the acceptance of a white male viewpoint in art historical thought as not merely a moral failure, but an intellectual one. Instead, she dismantled the very concept of 'greatness', unravelling the basic assumptions that had centred a male-coded 'genius' in the study of art. ![]() Nochlin refused to handle the question of why there had been no 'great women artists' on its own, corrupted, terms.

Who was she? How did she take such incredible black-and-white photos of everyday life with seemingly very little training? Is it possible, today, to shoot like Maier, who used a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex film camera? But her work went largely unnoticed until it was discovered in an old storage locker and became the subject of the award-winning 2013 documentary, Finding Vivian Maier. Maier worked as a nanny in Chicago for 40 years during which time she shot over 100,000 street photos of the residents and cityscapes of the area. These days, she's considered an overlooked master. ![]() Her name is Vivian Maier and until not long ago, she was virtually unknown as a photographer.
