Griselda Pollock 
Griselda Pollock on Gauguin (Pocket Perspectives) 

Griselda Pollock, feminist art historian and longstanding advocate of gender and racial inclusivity, unpacks the racist, sexist, and imperialist underpinnings of works created by Gauguin and others as they competed for preeminence in the European artistic avant-garde of the 1880s and ’90s.

Surprising, questioning, challenging, enriching: the
Pocket Perspectives series presents timeless works by writers and thinkers who have shaped the conversation across the arts, visual culture, and history. Celebrating the undiminished vitality of their ideas today, these covetable and collectable little books embody the best of Thames & Hudson.
