In distinct case studies, the author focuses on works by four US-American artists – Robert Mapplethorpe, Joan Semmel, Betty Tompkins, and Tee A. Corinne – and situates them in relation to contemporaneous debates associated with the insurgent Sexual Liberation Movements of the 1970s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, and gender and sexuality studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45541814763758,"sku":"9781032122571","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/sexually-explicit-art-feminist-theory-and-gender-in-the-1970s","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
