Expression of Feminist and Post-Feminist Sensibility in Pakistani Paintings
Abstract
From the second half of twentieth century, feminism gained momentum as an ideology and movement. As an ideology, it evolved and incorporated new perspectives and as movement it began influencing all walks of life. The impact of feminist thought and sensibility can be seen in the art works produced by both male and female artists of the world. The present study focuses on how the feminist and post-feminist sensibility can be seen in the art works of female artists from Pakistan, especially with subject matter focusing on female identity. The study shows a transition in the Pakistani female mindset that coincides with the changes in feminist ideology in the world. The findings of the study reveal that the depiction of woman in Pakistani painting transformed from a position of weakness to a position of strength.
