Thinking through the Body: Women Artists and the Catholic Imagination

Hypatia 18 (4):3-22 (2003)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Mariology-the veneration of the Virgin Mary-exerts a profound influence on women artists from Catholic backgrounds. Internalizing the mixed signals Mary transmits about purity, female strength, and compassion, they reinterpret the stories and mythologies surrounding her in ways that allow them to explore the ambiguities of the female role in contemporary society while also examining their conflicts about their own sexuality.
