Breaking the mould, or more than a woman: : Female creation of identity in 1780's Paris (English)
Abstract [sv]

I denna kandidatuppsats har jag analyserat målningar av konstnärerna Elizabeth Vigée Le Brun och Adélaïde Labille-Guiard i form av självporträtt skapade i 1780-talets Frankrike.Uppsatsens syfte har varit att tolka de två kvinnornas kommunikation och skapandet av identitet genom sina konstverk och utröna hur denna kommunikation stod sig gentemotsamtidens syn på kvinnor. Genom analysering av konstverken med användning av Panofskysmetod för ikonologisk bildanalys, samt litteratur som berör centrala ämnen för uppsatsens syfte, har jag nått slutsatsen att dessa målningar var väsentliga verktyg för deras egetskapande av identitet. Jag observerade att flera aspekter av olika storlek i varje konstverk bröt med konventionen och bidrog till att vidga uppfattningen kring kvinnorna som individer, som konstnärer - och på en större skala, kvinnor i allmänhet.

Abstract [en]

In this bachelor’s thesis I have analysed paintings by the artists Elizabeth Vigée Le Brun and Adélaïde Labille-Guiard in the form of self-portraits created in 1780’s France. The purpose of the thesis has been to interpret the communication and creation of identity through the artwork of these two women and discern how this communication stood against the contemporary view of women. Through analysing the artworks using Panofsky’s method for Iconological image analysis, as well as literature concerning topics central to the purpose of the thesis, I have reached the conclusion that these paintings were instrumental tools for their own creation of identity. I observed that several aspects of varying size in each artwork broke with convention and contributed to widening perception around the women as individuals, as artists - and on a wider scale, women in general.
