Abstract

In the present work I analyze how the subject matter of the body was 

represented by some women artists of the first years of the 20th century, which 

will allow to consider how you work some is anticipated with regard to what 

will be the representation of the body in the works of the artists of the sixties 

to nineties of the 20th century. Many of the images created by the artists who 

explore the cultural construction of the feminine identity, or his impossibility, 

influenced consciously by the feminism, take the body as a main reference.
