Female Artists in History

Female Artists in History FB group has a wonderful database of artists including many who have been ignored and forgotten as well as the great and the good. Link below

FAH is now posting links to this blog where I have articles about some of the 31 women artists I’ve researched. Many thanks Christa for all the great work.

"For centuries, the Art Canon was dominated by art made by men, preferably white and dead for at least 50 years. That was the paradigm about art. No matter how talented and skilled a woman was...  What you see is that many women (even in the more free thinking societies) stopped or diminished their artistic activities after their marriage, or they continued in a different form – on a smaller scale, with subject closer to home, in a more perishable form – for the sake of the house and family. Sometimes they continued working, but under the name of their husband, brother, or father. Only some managed to continue their work professionally. Many never married." Christa Zaat.
