Book by Parker Rozsika
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Rozsika Parker's re-evaluation of the reciprocal relationship between women and embroidery has brought stitchery out from the private world of female domesticity into the fine arts, created a major breakthrough in art history and criticism, and fostered the emergence of today's dynamic and expanding crafts movements. 'The Subversive Stitch' is now available again with a new Introduction that brings the book up to date with exploration of the stitched art of Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin, as well as the work of new young female and male embroiderers. Rozsika Parker uses household accounts, women's magazines, letters, novels and the works of art themselves to trace through history how the separation of the craft of embroidery from the fine arts came to be a major force in the marginalisation of women's work. Beautifully illustrated, her book also discusses the contradictory nature of women's experience of embroidery: how it has inculcated female subservience while providing an immensely pleasurable source of creativity, forging links between women.
Rozsika Parker has published widely in Art History and Psychoanalysis. Her books include 'Old Mistresses: Women, Art and Ideology' and 'Framing Feminism: Art and the Women's Movement 1970-1985' (both written with Griselda Pollock) and 'Torn in Two: The Experience of Maternal Ambivalence'. Her latest book is 'The Anxious Gardener'. She now practices as a psychotherapist in London.

In the middle ages women worked alongside men in embroiderers' guild workshops as apprentices, designers and stitchers of gold, silver and silk. Yet by the eighteenth century embroidering was considered to come naturally to women alone, and by the nineteenth century the fine stitchery expected of women of the upper classes, and the skilled work extracted for starvation wages from working-class women, had become both symbol and instrument of subservience.' ***'--- marvelously written and illustrated book --- Ms Parker's thesis is a bold one --- but it is one that she sustains convincingly.' - Times Educational Supplement ***' --- a book wonderfully rich, not only in information, but in people and ideas.' - Guardian ***'The book is the basis for a major exhibition of the same name.'
