The Sunbird by Elizabeth E Wein
A feminist literary theorist, specialist in Rembrandt, and a scholar with a knack for reading Old Testament stories, Mieke Bal weaves a tapestry of signs and meanings that enrich our senses. Her subject is the act of showing, the gesture of exposing to view. In a museum, for example, the object is on display, made visually available. That's how it is, the display proclaims. But who says so?Bal's subjects are displays from the American Museum of Natural History, paintings by such figures as Courbet, Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Rembrandt, as well as works by twentieth-century artists, and such literary texts as Shakespeare's Rape of Lucrece.
Elizabeth Wein was born in New York City, raised in the United Kingdom, and now lives in Scotland with her husband and two children. She is a frequent small plane flyer. She also has a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania in Folklore. Her website is www.elizabethwein.com.
