Answer preview

The feminist art movement is perceived as a multi-disciplinary movement. This is because feminist artists are not unified by a single style or medium (Langfeld 3). Feminist artists often combined elements from different movements such as video art, conceptual art, and body art into their artworks (Langfeld 3). This allowed them to present messages about women’s experiences and call for gender equality (Langfeld 3). The end goal of doing this was to generate conversations between art viewers and artworks via the inclusion of a female perspective in the artworks (Langfeld 5). Feminist artists believed art should not solely be an object for aesthetic admiration. Instead, it should prompt viewers to inquire about the existing political and social atmosphere (Langfeld 5). By doing this, the hope was that these inquiries would prompt people to change society and create gender equality. This hope was perfectly captured by Suzanne Lacy, who pointed out that feminist art’s ultimate goal was to change stereotypes and influence cultural attitudes (Langfeld 8). Even though feminist art started by focusing on purely feministic ideas such as gender equality, it has, since then, adopted an intersectional approach, as more and more female artists started using their art to explore their gender, sexual, and racial identity, as well as other elements of their identity informing who they are in society.
