Resumen

Este artículo pretende analizar The Summer Without Men (2011) y The Blazing World (2014) de Siri Hustvedt desde la perspectiva de la novela de la mujer artista para mostrar las convergencias y divergencias que las artistas protagonistas contemporáneas de Hustvedt presentan en relación con la artista del siglo XX. El marco metodológico se basa en el estudio de la novela de la mujer artista de Linda Huf, y su siguiente revisión de Evy Varsamopoulou, centrándose en las relaciones interpersonales y sociales de la protagonista. Se podría concluir que la representación que Hustvedt hace de la artista protagonista aún mantiene las consecuencias de vivir en una sociedad patriarcal, pero da lugar a representaciones complejas de personajes femeninos, estableciendo fuertes vínculos emocionales entre mujeres.
