This paper focuses on the evolution of feminism in art, from the exaggeration of female features and the objectification and sexualization of women, to the recognition of female artists and an increase in the representation of holistic female figures. The role and portrayal of women in art are ever-evolving. Initially, women were depicted as hypersexualized versions of themselves; objects of desire, particularly for the male gaze. Despite this being the norm in the art industry at the time, some female artists like Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Cassatt, and Berthe Morisot were key figures in portraying women as human beings with ambitions, beyond merely being objects of desire. This paper discusses the importance of the emergence of female artists like Georgia O’Keeffe, Lavinia Fontana, and the Guerrilla Girls in changing the depiction of women in art. It also explores intersectionality within the artistic landscape and how art has been used as a medium of activism to overcome these inequalities. Finally, the paper highlights the evolving portrayal of the male gaze and female rage in art over the years–by both male and female artists.
