Description: I Know What I Am by Gina Siciliano This is a graphic biography of a pioneering woman painter in 17th century Rome. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Michelangelo, Velázquez, Rubens, Rembrandt - all larger-than-life Renaissance figures celebrated for their mastery of their art. But often overlooked in this pantheon of Old Masters is Artemisia Gentileschi - Italys greatest female painter. In her debut graphic novel, Gina Siciliano brings to life the tumultuous 17th-century cities of Rome, Florence, Naples, and Venice where the fearless Artemisia braved the male-dominated sphere of painting to become a groundbreaking artist. I Know What I Am paints a complex, feminist portrait of Artemisia as a single mother, a sexual assault survivor, and a pioneering practitioner of her craft. Author Biography GINA SICILIANO is an artist and musician living in Seattle, Washington. She graduated from Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon, in 2007. Review I Know What I Am is an extraordinary debut -- a beautifully drawn portrait of the Italian baroque painter.-- "The Guardian"I Know What I Am paints an enduring, detailed portrait through a feminist lens of Artemisia as a woman to remember: as a pioneer, as a master of her craft, as a mother, a survivor of injustices due to her gender, and an artist whose surviving works are timeless.-- "Black Nerd Problems" Review Quote "This beautifully illustrated book brings into sharp focus Artemisias role as one of the greatest painters of Baroque Italy, who navigated her way through an extremely patriarchal world." Description for Sales People Tells the story of a groundbreaking artist - a gripping graphic biography and art history lesson in one. Meticulously rendered in ballpoint pen in Sicilianos striking style. Resonant in todays era of greater awareness of routine sexual violence against women. There is strong interest in historical biographies of women - see Elizabeth: The Forgotten Years, Red Rosa, etc. Details ISBN1683962117 Pages 232 Publisher Fantagraphics Year 2019 ISBN-10 1683962117 ISBN-13 9781683962113 Format Hardcover Imprint Fantagraphics Place of Publication Seattle Country of Publication United States Illustrations 232 Illustrations, unspecified Subtitle The Life and Times of Artemisia Gentileschi Author Gina Siciliano DEWEY 759.5 Short Title I Know What I Am Language English NZ Release Date 2019-09-12 UK Release Date 2019-09-12 Audience General AU Release Date 2019-10-13 Publication Date 2019-06-27 US Release Date 2019-06-27 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
