Joanna Frueh is an art critic and art historian, a writer, an actress, a singer, and a multidisciplinary and performance artist. A professor of art history at the University of Nevada, Reno, her publications include essays, scholarly articles, edited volumes, and two books, Monster/Beauty: Building the Body of Love and Erotic Faculties. Known for her personal and autobiographical approach to ideas, Frueh is more revealing than ever in Swooning Beauty. There her trailblazing consciousness continues the exploration of love, eros, sex, and human relations that appear in her previous books. Frueh’s performance texts and her writings on contemporary art and women artists have appeared in numerous books and journals. Recognized as a powerful, provocative, and articulate performer, she has presented her one-woman shows—as well as lectures—at museums, galleries, universities, and conferences in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
