Description
"I am so thrilled this book exists" - Elizabeth Day
“Brilliantly readable ... outraged and celebratory, it's chock-full of female trail-blazers” - Jennifer Higgie, The Mirror and the Palette
The Story of Art without Men reveals the history of art as it's never been told before, brought to you by the creator of @thegreatwomenartists.
How many women artists do you know? Who shapes art history? Did women even work as artists before the twentieth century? And what is the Baroque anyway?
Discover the glittering Sofonisba Anguissola of the Renaissance, the radical work of Harriet Powers in nineteenth-century USA, and the artist who truly invented the Readymade. Explore the Dutch Golden Age, the astonishing work of post-war artists in Latin America, and the women artists defining art in the 2020s.
Have your perception of art history overturned and your eyes opened to many art forms often overlooked or dismissed. From the Cornish coast to Manhattan, Nigeria to Japan, this is the history of art as it's never been told before.
