Francesca Woodman and the Kantian Sublime by Claire Raymond (English) Paperback

Description: Francesca Woodman and the Kantian Sublime by Claire Raymond In her feminist inquiry into aesthetics and the sublime, Claire Raymond reinterprets the work of the American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958-1981). Placing Woodman in a lineage of women artists beginning with nineteenth-century photographers Julia Margaret Cameron and Clementina, Viscountess Hawarden, Raymond compels a reconsideration of Woodmans achievement in light of the gender dynamics of the sublime. Raymond argues that Woodmans photographs of decrepit architecture allegorically depict the dissolution of the frame, a dissolution Derrida links to theories of the sublime in Kants Critique of Judgement. Woodmans self-portraits, Raymond contends, test the parameters of the gaze, a reading that departs from the many analyses of Woodmans work that emphasize her dramatic biography. Woodman is here revealed as a conceptually sophisticated artist whose deployment of allegory and allusion engages a broader debate about Enlightenment aesthetics, and the sublime.

Anyone beguiled by Francesca Woodman will be grateful to Claire Raymond for this strikingly intelligent, haunting tribute to Woodmans uncanny and troubling art. Maria DiBattista, Princeton University, USA While there has been a steady accumulation of critical responses to Woodmans work since the 1980s, Claire Raymonds Francesca Woodman and the Kantian Sublime is the first book length work which attends to the complexity of Woodmans project with the nuance and careful attention that the photographs deserve... [this] is a book that should be valued for opening up possibilities in how we think about Woodmans work, but also for how we think about selfportraiture, gender, the Kantian sublime and about photography itself.
