Frozen in time, her bare legs stick up, her hands grasping the air. Her face is covered by a page from a newspaper. People approach to look at her, bending down to study the folds of her dress, the immature curve of her thigh, her neat toes, splayed in surprise. The woman is a sculpture, made by the Irish artist F. E. McWilliam in 1974. In this bronze figure’s awkwardly graceful near-death contortions, entire histories of pain, death, sex and visual pleasure have been condensed. Looking at the Woman in a Bomb Blast is an experimental artist’s book that uses different voices to unravel these histories: a writer labours over an elaborate ‘explanation’ of what she means, while the voice of the Woman herself offers acerbic insights and asides. In a series of short chapters, they assert their contrasting ideas, insisting on their own approaches to discovering her ‘true meaning’: by turns affective, confessional, detached and analytical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA slender young woman falls backwards, blown off her feet by a bomb.

The woman is a sculpture, made by the Irish artist F. E. McWilliam in 1974. In this bronze figure’s awkwardly graceful near-death contortions, entire histories of pain, death, sex and visual pleasure have been condensed. Looking at the Woman in a Bomb Blast is an experimental artist’s book that uses different voices to unravel these histories: a writer labours over an elaborate ‘explanation’ of what she means, while the voice of the Woman herself offers acerbic insights and asides. In a series of short chapters, they assert their contrasting ideas, insisting on their own approaches to discovering her ‘true meaning’: by turns affective, confessional, detached and analytical. As the writer looks, and tries to thread together a coherent account, we we are led through formalistic accounts of drapery, gesture, and emotion, and encounter histories of violent and sexualised imagery in Western art, of the nude, and the artist’s model. But, pushing itself forward, increasingly impossible to ignore, is the tension that the work continually performs, between itself, its viewer, and the imagined motivations of its creator: who is looking at whom, whose desire is indulged, what fantasies and pleasures are crystallised in the work? Eventually, the writer confronts the disturbing fetishism that runs through the work like an electrical charge, connecting artist, viewer and woman in a perverse visual contract. Only then do we understand the way the work oscillates, between voyeurism and exhibitionism - between masochistic and sadistic desires. The sculpture becomes simultaneously compelling and repellent - it can make one feel shameful for looking, and guilty for looking away. This female body, suspended at the moment of her death, her skirt lifted above her legs, her face covered by a sheet of newspaper, is complex, banal, mythic, formalistic, attractive, fragile, misogynistic: it exceeds any single attempt to describe it. In tone, the book cuts between a poetic ekphrasis, a visual essay, an art-historical murder mystery, and a pornographic surrealist novella. It’s neither a conventional artist’s book, a novel, nor an academic art history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\" style=\"background-color: #edeae3;\"\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_1\"\u003e\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" class=\"accordion__summary\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title flex\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title inline-richtext\" style=\"line-height: 2.5rem;\"\u003eData om boken\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 00.708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 000-.708z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Häftat band.\u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e Utg. 2025. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 259 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789198972948. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Jewesbury+Daniel\"\u003eJewesbury, Daniel\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Looking+at+the+Woman+in+a+Bomb+Blast\"\u003eLooking at the Woman in a Bomb Blast\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:ArtMonitor\"\u003eArtMonitor\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Konst\"\u003eKonst\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 6384286265\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLooking at the Woman in a Bomb Blast\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e av \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Jewesbury\u003c\/strong\u003e hittar du under genren \u003cstrong\u003eKonst: allmänt\u003c\/strong\u003e inom \u003cstrong\u003eKonst, musik, teater, film, fotografi\u003c\/strong\u003e i kategorin \u003cstrong\u003eHumaniora\u003c\/strong\u003e.
