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 Woodman's achievement in light of the gender dynamics of the sublime. Raymond argues that Woodman's photographs of decrepit architecture allegorically depict the dissolution of the frame, a dissolution Derrida links to theories of the sublime in Kant's Critique of Judgement. Woodman's self-portraits, Raymond contends, test the parameters of the gaze, a reading that departs from the many analyses of Woodman's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50178147909855,"sku":"9781138246683","price":129.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/ZUQycy9PY2Vaamw0SnQwbllMSlB6QT09.webp?v=1781780208"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/claire-raymond.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
