Preferred term

art and mothering  

Definition

  • In addition to its aesthetic concerns, art is often a reflection of current social issues across and specific to gender, racial, and socioeconomic lines. Mothering as subject matter and the concerns of mother-artists are no exception, although historically, motherhood has been predominantly either sentimentalized or marginalized as a subject in art.
