The Great Goddess
Essay Griselda Pollock
As one of the most influential voices in feminist art history, Holberg Prize-winner Griselda Pollock lends her insights to our Pretty Brillian issue on Goddesses. Pollock has transformed the art historical canon and served as ‘a beacon for generations of art and cultural historians’. For See All This, she explores how we can use the term ‘goddess’ to examine the long history of human imagination.
