Zandy orchestrates the voices of nine artists―Käthe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmbitious and original, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWorking-Class Girls Don’t Become Artists\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e rewrites art history from a working-class perspective.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eJanet Zandy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eUniversity of Illinois\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003ePaperback, 254 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eISBN 9780252089398\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chicago Distribution Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48842915840235,"sku":"9780252089398","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/1061\/files\/61hDjaQfJNL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781292921","url":"https:\/\/store.hammer.ucla.edu\/products\/working-class-girls-don-t-become-artists-looking-at-art-and-clas","provider":"Hammer Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
