Abstract

Art, an ever growing vast subject met with yet another revolution during the 1960s around the world with its major impact particularly manifested during the 1980s in India with the introduction of elements of Feminism. Feminism, as per literature, is the advocacy of women's right on the grounds of sexual equality. And this ‘advocacy’ went so far as it didn't introduce itself to the domain of Art, instead it made its way into it and got absorbed so vastly that it opened a completely new perspective of the way various art-forms are looked at now. In the paper, an effort is being made to carry out a feminist study in Art by analyzing GogiSaroj Pal as the feminist artist.
