Translation and Transgression in the Art of Shirin Neshat - Hardcover

by Erin C. Devine (Author)

Thirty years after the debut of her photo-portraits, this book chronicles the early career of Iranian-American artist Shirin Neshat. In its first twenty years, Neshat's work weaved viewers into complex readings of women and power in Iran. Yet her images also drew criticisms of exoticizing Muslim women.
