Art Journal, established in New York City in 1941, is a publication of the College Art Association of America (referred to as "CAA"). [1] As a peer-reviewed, professionally moderated scholarly journal, its concentrations include: art practice, art production, art making, art history, visual studies, art theory, and art criticism. The main contributors are artists, scholars, critics, art historians, and other writers in the arts. It is both national and international in scope, and in recent years focusing on 20th- and 21st-century art, [2] although for its first decades it concentrated more on earlier time periods in art history. It was originally published by the College Art Association as Parnassus (1929–1941), then College Art Journal (1941–1960), before changing its name to Art Journal in 1960. [3]

Women were professionally active in the academic discipline of art history in the nineteenth century and participated in the important shift early in the century that began involving an "Emphatically Corporeal Visual Subject", with Vernon Lee as a notable example. It is argued that in the twentieth century women art historians, by choosing to study women artists, "dramatically" "increased their visibility". It has been written that women artists pre-1974 were historically one of two groups; women art historians and authors who self-consciously address high school audiences through the publication of textbooks. The relative "newness" of this field of study for women, paired with the possibility of interdisciplinary focus, emphasizes the importance of visibility of all global women in the art history field.
