| Summary: | Traces the achievements of women in the arts throughout history, and includes approximately three hundred color plates of works by female artists spanning five centuries "The achievements of women in the arts have, until recently, been a well-kept secret, and the (re)discovery of women artists is one of the great ongoing adventures of the twentieth century, revealing vibrant, long-neglected chapters in humanity's history, and redefining our very understanding of what art is. Women Artists presents a wealth of information on the subject with nearly 300 colorplates of works by extraordinary female artists from over five centuries." "Margaret Barlow's informative and well-researched text highlights the lives and accomplishments of well-known and lesser-known women whose art has stood for something more than the sum of its parts."--BOOK JACKET |
