Linda Nochlin on the Body

In this classic essay, renowned art historian and pioneering feminist Linda Nochlin explores how, from the late 18th century, fragmented, mutilated, and fetishized representations of the human body came to constitute a distinctively modern view of the world. The work of an original thinker at the height of her powers, it remains a thought-provoking and compelling read.
