Features: In the late 1960s, with the decline of modernism's "masculinism," a new art movement emerged in Western art—feminism. Originating first in the United States and Europe, feminist art has rapidly developed into a global phenomenon. With clear self-awareness and a distinct political stance, feminists resolutely reject visual art theories and creative tendencies. They observe life and the world from unique perspectives, employing diverse materials, media, and techniques to express their feelings, psychology, and thoughts. This has greatly expanded the themes, content, space, and forms of artistic expression, making significant contributions to the demise of modernist art and the birth of postmodernist art.
