Sexism and misogyny in modern and contemporary art: works and artists

Abstract

There are works in arts that denigrate and under value women and sometimes we do not pay attention to these works, didn´t the Greek sculpting the korai show their misogyny when hiding every and any feature showing beauty or anatomy if compared to the kuroi apolineos, then? We also moan... It is our goal here to focus on such differences. We will go through different Arts styles and observe when the artist was either an accomplice or an informer of women´s ill-treatment and abuse, of the way in which a rape topic was undertaken, of prostitution, of sexual harassment or the image of the so-called femme fatal.
