Not to be an Art Snob or anything but something that makes me genuinely so so tired:

The material/execution: wild and crazy and innovative, high technical skill, the artist doing genuinely cool and unexpected things in regards to the process of creating the piece

The subject: a generically pretty woman with a completely neutral expression gazing off in a Direction

#Assuming her eyes aren't just closed #I am so exhausted by all the artists #Men AND women #Who refuse to make their principal figure anything other than a vaguely wistful looking fashion model

if you devalue dressmaking and other clothing-related trades in your historical narrative, you have to reread The Female Economy by Wendy Gamber and leave flowers on Elizabeth Keckley's grave

I don't make the rules

(this post brought to you by: too many damn websites saying that Jeanne Villepreux-Power started as a Mere Dressmaker and rose to become a Great And Mighty Marine Biologist. when she designed and fitted and may have hand-sewn a princess' wedding dress at the age of 22. like. that sounds like she was already pretty successful, knowledgeable, and talented to me- but I guess because it wasn't in a field that usually-male arbiters of history have decided was valuable, it doesn't count or something?)

#history #dressmaking #fashion history #clothing history #women's history #(obviously men have also been involved in clothing production and that's a whole other situation wrought by professional misogyny)#(the idea that men who made clothing were somehow less manly OR libertines OR Well They Didn't REALLY Do The Production Side)#(is tied up in the notion that producing clothes is inherently linked to women and things linked to women are Bad)#(but let's be real- this happens with women like 85% of the time)
