Renessa Rabenda presents her paper “(De)Construction of the Female Identity” at the 5th annual Undergraduate Art History Symposium on April 17, 2021. The annual Symposium event is hosted by the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art in collaboration with Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri. Rabenda is a senior at James Madison University.
Abstract: Throughout the artistic canon, women have been sexualized, dehumanized, and tied to colonial, romantic ideals. (De)Construction of the Female Identity will focus on Hannah Höch and how her work during the 1920s was influenced or impacted by artists like Paula Modersohn-Becker, Suzanne Duchamp, and Martha Rosler. As well as highlighting how Hannah Höch continued the reclamation of the image of ‘woman’ in artwork, creating a radical evolution and depiction of women in art and society through her series, The Ethnographic Museum (1924-30).
