Feminist art is a movement that emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s, aiming to address and challenge the representation of women in art and society. It seeks to highlight issues such as gender inequality, identity, and the female experience. Artists often use their work to critique traditional gender roles and to promote women's rights. Key figures in feminist art include Judy Chicago, known for her installation piece "The Dinner Party," and Cindy Sherman, who explores female identity through photography. Feminist art encompasses various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and performance, and continues to influence contemporary art today.
