A Tribute to Linda Nochlin (1931-2017)

I wrote a short tribute to the pioneering art historian Linda Nochlin, which you can find on Apollo Magazine’s website. In Nochlin’s own words:

[F]eminist art history is there to make trouble, to call into question, to ruffle feathers in the patriarchal dovecots. It should not be mistaken for just another variant of or supplement to mainstream art history. At its strongest, a feminist art history is a transgressive and anti-establishment practice, meant to call many of the major precepts of the discipline into question.
