Why Have There Been No Great Women Chefs?
Nochlin’s essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” not only impacted the way we view feminist art, but it has also impacted how we view women’s recognition in other careers. Nochlin’s work inspired the essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Chefs?” by Charlotte Druckman, in which the author analyzes the terms cook and chef, and how each one is attributed to an individual based on their gender. A cook is often associated with a woman whereas a chef is associated with a man.[1] By using Nochlin's argument in "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?", we can analyze where these nuances come from and how they are perpetuated in day-to-day living.
Global Feminisms
In March 2007, Nochlin co-curated the feminist art exhibition Global Feminisms alongside Dr. Maura Reilly at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, New York City, United States.[2] It was the first international exhibition that was exclusively dedicated to feminist art, and it featured works from approximately eighty-eight women artists from around the world. The exhibit featured art in all forms of media, such as photography, video, performance, painting and sculpture. The goal of the exhibit was to move beyond the dominating brand of Western feminism, and instead showcase different understandings of feminism and feminist art from a global perspective. [3]
Lost and Found: Once More the Fallen Woman
In March 1978, Nochlin looked at the sexual asymmetry of the word "fallen" and how it is used in regards of gender. For men, it depicts an act of heroism, but for women the term is applied much more negatively and is understood in terms of any sexual activity that is performed out of wedlock. The same differentiation appears in art as well, as fallen in a masculine sense is inspired sculptural monuments, versus fallen in a feminine sense struck fascination of nineteenth-century artists.[4] This was undertaken by Dante Gabriel Rossetti where he devoted a number of poems and pictorial works to Nochlin's analysis, which resulted in his most notable work: the painting Found.[5]
