what is now known as Haiti—the

in
the visual arts. Instead of
recognizing the social
barriers to entry women faced
when
trying to engage with the art

sexual divisions of a
patriarchic
society. The majority of art
historians have celebrated and
privileged individual
creativity as the apogee of
artistic greatness, which they
then assigned as the property
of
only a select masculinity. It

engagement helped to move
attention
away from the idealization...
