Diana Guber’s Book 'The Simulacra of Womanhood: Living in Ecstasy or in Exile?' Is An Intriguing Work On The Female Plight Encouraging All To View The Gender Differently

(PRWEB) July 13, 2015 -- Diana Guber, a Ukrainian-born belle and art historian, has completed her new book “The Simulacra of Womanhood: Living in Ecstasy or in Exile?”: a fascinating look at the female condition and the layers and references a given piece of art can reflect therein.

Diana feels that, “Above all else, I place great emphasis on women’s issues intertwined with social, political, and psychological forces as reflected in the arts. I choose works of art and topics that are not widely discussed in popular or scholarly literature, in an attempt to see beyond the demands or limitations of mainstream discourses, in which female identity is constructed by social institutions and practices.”

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Diana Guber’s thought provoking work explores the many potential readings of an artwork, whether it be psychological, social, political, sexual, religious, symbolical, or fantasy. Diana is interested in looking at all of these layers and taking all of the aspects into consideration.

As an art historian, Diana concurs that an accurate historical reconstruction is far more fascinating than imaginary characters and events. In art, however, reality and illusion are often blended into an intoxicating fusion, as to create a profound impact on the viewer. Diana strives to see beyond the pictorial values and embrace a wider range of references reflected in a work of art.
