Produktbeschreibung

A collection of charmingly illustrated and inspiring profiles of fifty pioneering female artists, from the eleventh century to today-by the New York Times bestselling author of Women in Science "A beautifully illustrated, fact-filled breath of fresh air! Countless women have been left out of art history, but thanks to gorgeous books like this, future generations will begin to know their stories."-Danielle Krysa, founder of The Jealous Curator Women make masterpieces! Through fifty fascinating profiles, Women in Art highlights the achievements and stories of fifty notable women in the arts-from well-known figures like painters Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keefe, to lesser-known names like nineteenth-century African American quilter Harriet Powers and Hopi-Tewa ceramic artist Nampeyo.

This fascinating book celebrates the success of the bold female creators who inspired the world and paved the way for the next generation of artists.

Rezensionen

It s eye-opening and awe-inspiring to see how women artists have shaped the world over the centuries. Rachel Ignotofsky splendidly captures that in her phenomenal book Women in Art. From the first page to the last page, I saw icons I ve loved, like Zaha Hadid and Alma Thomas, and learned more about artists such as Loïs Mailou Jones. This book is a visual treasure for women across all generations. Jasmin Hernandez, founder of Gallery Gurls

Rachel Ignotofsky s Women in Art is that rare, perfect marriage of medium and message. Fifty true and inspiring stories of artful women, artfully told. Fun to read and to behold, this book is a delightful expression of the fact that, in Ignotofsky s words, Art is more than just something beautiful it shapes and reflects our world.
