Gesture, Repetition, Index, Women ArtistsAbstract
This paper analyzes the work of Eva Hesse without falling into the habits that part of art criticism and historiography reproduce when approaching works of art made by women. This is done by showing how the works of Eva Hesse corroborate with an idea of free gesture, of gesture as their own intentionality, a form of body trace, of presence. Through the concepts of index, repetition and gesture, we draw differences between the artist and her contemporaries, emphasizing the movements to which her work is traditionally associated: Minimalism and Conceptual Art.
