ReplyDeleteHow do you know of her?
Hi Iris,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I learned of Helene Scherfbeck at a European art book vendor's booth at the College Art Association Conference some time ago. Her beautiful work really pulled me in.
I've just Googled a comparison list of male and female painters from the 17th and 18th century. Decidedly more males. Of the females only a few rolled off my tongue, Mary Cassat being one of them. I really would like to discover the women painters of that era.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mary Cassat was the only one I could easily think of, too. I bet there were many women artists (then and now) who created art quietly at home and left it at that.
ReplyDeleteMore on the subject of women artists, historically, appeared in an exhibition review by Roberta Smith in today's NY Times. Called "Playing With Pictures," the show is of collages created by women in Victorian England during the 1860's and 70's. Roberta Smith writes that the exhibition "refreshes your appreciation of the essential fuzziness of art history and... suggests that women's art history... is still only just beginning to be examined and understood." Don't we know!
