Great Women Painters
By Phaidon Editors; Introduction by Alison M. Gingeras
Great Women Painters brings together the work of over three hundred artists, spanning sixty countries and five centuries as well as countless movements, genres, and techniques. The lives documented in this volume include painters who worked despite the denial of formal training or entry into artistic guilds based on gender and class, those who history overlooked in spite of their achievements, those who found acclaim later in life, and those who have been revered within their own time. Each artist’s entry is illustrated by one key painting and accompanied by an introductory text. Arranged from A to Z by surname, Great Women Painters reveals and champions a more diverse story of art, preserving and upholding the vital creativity of women painters of the past, present, and future.
