Summary

The Disabled Body in Contemporary Artis the first book to cross the disciplines of art history and disability studies. Millett-Gallant visually analyzes images of the body in visual culturefrom painting, sculpture, photography, and performance art to medical displays to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century freak showplacing the work of disabled and non-disabled artists in critical dialogue.
