Where it came from
Published in 2004 by the Art Gallery at Skidmore College, this volume serves as the scholarly catalog for the exhibition titled 'Hair', curated by Penny Howell Jolly. The exhibition and subsequent book were developed to explore the multifaceted cultural, social, and aesthetic roles that hair has occupied throughout art history, from the Renaissance to the contemporary era. It brings together a diverse array of perspectives to examine how hairstyles and grooming practices have functioned as symbols of gender, status, and identity.
The publication is noted for its interdisciplinary approach, blending art historical research with sociological observation. By documenting the pieces presented at the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, the book provides a permanent record of the curators' efforts to deconstruct the visual language of hair in visual culture. It is regarded as a valuable resource for those studying the intersection of bodily representation and historical art practice.
