Women in Art History ⭐. Today's pick is Mary Ca

Women in Art History ⭐. Today's pick is
Mary Cassatt (1844-1926). 'Cassatt was an American painter and printmaker, who boldly rebelled against the expectations set for her as a woman in the 19th century and travelled to Europe to find her independence as a professional artist. She made her name as an Impressionist, renowned for her intimate depictions of women, particularly mothers and children, and for her insight into the female inner life.
Cassatt’s father did not support her ambition to paint professionally and refused to give her any money that would go towards buying her art supplies. But determined to rebel and gain financial independence, she continued to paint and seek commissions until she did just that. She was one of two American women to first exhibit in the Paris Salon. She retired from painting early due to blindness, and after doing so, she contributed 18 of her paintings for the women’s suffrage movement.'

Women in Art History. Today I picked Elizabeth Gil

Women in Art History. Today I picked
Elizabeth Gilbert Jerome (1824 - 1910), because according to the little history found on her, she was, like many other women at the time, forbidden from making art, an activity considered by some to be so unladylike. When she was 15, her stepmother burned all of her drawings 😱. Only at age 27 was Jerome able to begin studying drawing and painting. (Smithsonian Magazine)
She was heavily influenced by her neighbor and Hartford compatriot, Frederick Church's South American paintings.

Nothing restricted her talent and innate passion to create. Not the norms of the day nor the forced rules imposed on her. I like her work a lot 😃
Which of these pieces do you like most?
1) Tropical Landscape
2) In The Tropics
3) Still Life With Fruit & Flower

Women's in Art History... Artemisia Gentileschi, (

Women's in Art History... Artemisia Gentileschi, (b.1953-c.1656) was an accomplished Italian Baroque painter.
She's been called the #metoo heroine of the 17th century and the Beyonce of Art History. Artemisia grew in an artistic environment but endured rape, prejudice, grief and great pain, and used art to express the emotions of her experiences. She painted large-scale Biblical and mythological paintings and enjoyed international success and was the first woman accepted to the prestigious Fine Art Academy in Florence. She overcame great feats. In the last few years, her work and story have been greatly recognized and shown in various exhibits.
Her story is very long and interesting, definitely worth to learn about.
