Griselda Frances Sinclair Pollock[1] (born 11 March 1949)[2] is a British art historian, whose work focuses on analyzing visual arts and visual culture through global feminist and postcolonial feminist lenses. Since 1977, Pollock has been an influential scholar of modern, avant-garde, postmodern, and contemporary art. She is a major influence in feminist theory, feminist art history, and gender studies.[3] She is known for her feminist approach to art history, which aims to deconstruct the lack of appreciation and importance of women in art outside of being objects for the male gaze.[4]
Pollock's research offers historical analyses of the social dynamics that shape the sexual political environment within art history. Pollock has written texts exclusively focused on women in order to intentionally shift from traditional art history, which has focused primarily on the work of male artists. Pollock's initiative enabled appreciation for female artists such as Mary Cassatt, Eva Hesse, and Charlotte Salomon.[4] Her theoretical and methodological innovations, including her book Vision and Difference 1988, are still influential, and many of her remarks apply to contemporary concerns such as the political subtexts for women portrayed in advertising.[3][4]
