Abstract

Prudence Flint is a female painter living and working in Melbourne, whose paintings are characterized by extremely bright pastel shades and slightly exaggerated female nudes. The gentle serenity that is unique to women from a female perspective is brought out in her images. She portrays ordinary women in a variety of interior spaces, showing the beauty of their bodies deliberately reshaped and sculpted, while the backgrounds are rendered with transcendent simplicity and comforting colors. This paper takes several key works of Flint's since her career and her oral interviews as references and explores how Flint's attitude towards patriarchal society is expressed through the manifestation of "femininity" in her paintings, in combination with the theories related to Western dualism and feminist thinking.
