{"product_id":"9780252089398","title":"Working-Class Girls Don't Become Artists","description":"\u003cp\u003eWriting from a working-class perspective, Janet Zandy links labor and art to challenge the unnamed class biases in systems of art curation, categorization and expertise. Zandy orchestrates the voices of nine artists - Kaethe Kollwitz and Elizabeth Catlett, Ruth Asawa and Marilyn Anderson, Milton Rogovin and Jens S. Jensen, Mark Rogovin and muralism, Ralph Fasanella, and Raymond Mason - whose work aligns with the histories and living conditions of working-class people. These paired portraits open larger conversations about class and artistic formation, intent, and accessibility. Zandy presents a model for writing about art in an inclusive, theoretically informed, and creatively constructed way. Art, as Zandy shows, is not a rare fruit to be plucked by the chosen few. Art is a human necessity and crucial for the sustenance of democracy. \t  \t  \tAmbitious and original, Working-Class Girls Don't Become Artists rewrites art history from a working-class perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52740487414034,"sku":"9780252089398","price":63.14,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780252089398.jpg?v=1790288377","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780252089398","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
