Abstract

In this text I develop the imagery of the body made by women artists representing the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century. The artists of this period suggest a reflection on the human body, together with the adoption of heterogeneous plastic behaviors, which, having developed from this historical moment, will remain in force, becoming even stronger in the subsequent decades, giving rise to a diversity of practices and artistic themes.
