I have this case study to do and i hav no idea where to start or what artists to look at.
The question is:

How have ideas that reflect societies view about gender (both male & female) been portrayed throughout art history. Discuss this question with reference to four different artists from four distinct art periods. You must describe & analyse at least one example of work for each artist to answer this question. You must make reference to the cultural frame.

Anyone have any tips, notes, ideas for me?:confused:

as a modern take, have a look at the guerrella girls, they reflect society shifting towards empowerment of women

You should try Judy Chicago and her artwork "The Dinner Party"
Mel Ramos artwork "The tabacco rose"
Orlan
Cindy Sherman
Guerrilla Girls
and you could even the try the Venus of Willendorf
i hope that helps just look the artist and artworks up as they all relate around gender and how society percieves them :)
