Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Pink, 1973

I keep on going back and forth between origins of feminist art and more contemporary stuff. Heh.

She did this for an American Institute of Graphic Arts exhibition about colour. Hers was the only entry for the colour pink. So basically de Bretteville handed out pieces of pink paper to friends and to women on the street, asking them to describe what the colour meant to them. As you can guess, the colour was associated with stereotypical depictions of “femininity”. This has implications for art and graphic design that incorporates the colour pink for advertisement towards aimed audiences. She arranged women’s answers in a quilt-like manner. Many feminist artists in the ’70s incorporated traditional devalued women’s art such as knitting and quilting into their work to shake up the divide between “high” art and “low” art, as well as to display the value of this type of art.

“People don’t wanna be compared to the teenage girl; the teenage girl is hated, teenage girls hate themselves. If you listen to a certain kind of music, or if you express your emotions in a certain kind of way, if you self harm, you write diaries, all those kind of activities are sort of laughed at and ridiculed because they’re associated with being a teenage girl. Even just things like being cripplingly self conscious or overly concerned with our appearance, that’s considered like a teenage girl thing and therefore its ridiculous, it’s stupid, it’s not relevant or legitimate, and you know, what we needed at that age was legitimisation and respect and support but all we got was dismissal and “oh you’re such a teenage girl.””
