Feminist art movement

The feminist art movement refers to the efforts and accomplishments of feminists internationally to produce art that reflects women's lives and experiences, as well as to change the foundation for the production and perception of contemporary art. It also sought to bring more visibility to women within art history and art practice. By the way it is expressed to visualize the inner thoughts and objectives of the feminist movement to show to everyone and give meaning in the art. It helps construct the role to those who continue to undermine the mainstream (and often masculine) narrative of the art world. Corresponding with general developments within feminism, and often including such self-organizing tactics as the consciousness-raising group, the movement began in the 1960s and flourished throughout the 1970s as an outgrowth of the so-called second wave of feminism. It has been called "the most influential international movement of any during the postwar period." The 1960s was a period when women artists wanted to gain equal rights with men within the established art world, and to create feminist art, often in non-traditional ways, to help "change the world".This movement was actually started in America and Britain in the late 1960 which was "second-wave" feminism. And In the 1960s and 1970s, many artists began to practice a lot of art that showed their reality in their works. And the artists at the time realized in advance that it was wrong for art historians and museums to pay a lot of attention to male artists only to their paintings, and that women should further integrate topics such as social treatment of women, frequent, and discrimination against women into their works. Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) and German-American Eva Hesse (1936–1970) were some early feminist artists. On 20 July 1964 Yoko Ono, a Fluxus, avant-garde artist, singer, and activist, presented Cut Piece at the Yamaichi Concert Hall, Kyoto, Japan where she sat still as parts of her clothing were cut off of her, which meant to protest violence against women.
