'While artists from Berthe Morisot to Beyonce have

'While artists from Berthe Morisot to Beyonce have opened up the underlying politics and complexities behind images of mothers, mainstream contemporary depictions of motherhood still tend to flatten out the experience of mothering into a binary of suffering or unrealistic virtue' - @womeninthepicture, author of WOMEN IN THE PICTURE 🎨🤰📸

Available now in all bookshops and online! #WomenInThePicture #CatherineMcCormack @sothebys

'Oil paint is a soothing medium that
smooths out

'Oil paint is a soothing medium that
smooths out the brutality and double standards of these narratives
and turns them into lessons in culture and civilization
for the general public. But what other alternative histories lie
buried in plain sight beneath the gilded frames, the imposing
ceilings, the tasselled ropes and the protective glass surfaces that
deflect proper scrutiny?'

Dr. Catherine McCormack (@womeninthepicture) asks us to look again at what these images have told us to value, opening up our most loved images – from those of Titian and Botticelli to Picasso and the Pre-Raphaelites. She also shows us how women artists – from Berthe Morisot to Beyoncé, Judy Chicago to Kara Walker – have offered us new ways of thinking about women’s identity, sexuality, race and power.

Women in the Picture gives us new ways of seeing the art of the past and the familiar images of today so that we might free women from these restrictive roles and embrace the breadth of women’s vision

Out tomorrow! @iconbooks

Thank you for posting Once Upon A Time I Lived On

Thank you for posting Once Upon A Time I Lived On Mars on your latest reels, @natashalipman - we hope you enjoy Kate Greene's book that we published earlier this year.

'Filled with wonderment and awe … Greene’s eloquent memoir is equal parts escape and comfort.’ Publishers Weekly

A powerful reflection on life in isolation, in pursuit of the dream of Mars.

In 2013 Kate Greene moved to Mars.

On NASA’s first HI-SEAS simulated Mars mission in Hawaii, she lived for four months in an isolated geodesic dome with her crewmates, gaining incredible insight into human behaviour in tight quarters, as well as the nature of boredom, dreams and isolation that arise amidst the promise of scientific progress and glory.

Greene draws on her experience to contemplate what makes an astronaut, the challenges of freeze-dried eggs and time-lagged correspondence, the cost of shooting for a Planet B.

The result is a story of space and life, of the slippage between dreams and reality, of bodies in space, and of humanity’s incredible impulse to explore. From trying out life on Mars, Greene examines what it is to live on Earth.

‘In her thoughtful, well-written account of the mission, Greene reflects on what this and other space missions can teach us about ourselves and life on Earth.’ Physics Today
