Becker, Joelle Bolloch, Vibeke Waallann Hansen, Richard Kendall A celebration of the work and lives of women artists who shaped the art world of 19th-century Paris FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A celebration of the work and lives of women artists who shaped the art world of 19th-century Paris In the second half of the 19th century, Paris attracted an international gathering of women artists, drawn to the French capital by its academies and museums, studios and salons. Featuring thirty-six artists from eleven different countries, this beautifully illustrated book explores the strength of these womens creative achievements, through paintings by acclaimed Impressionists such as Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, and extraordinary lesser-known artists such as Marie Bashkirtseff, Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowicz, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Hanna Pauli. It examines their work against the sociopolitical background of the period, when women were mostly barred from formal artistic education but cleverly navigated the citys network of ateliers, salons, and galleries. Essays consider the powerfully influential work of women Impressionists, representations of the female artist in portraiture, the unique experiences of Nordic women artists, and the significant presence of women artists throughout the history of the Paris Salon. By addressing the long-undervalued contributions of women to the art of the later 19th century, Women Artists in Paris pays tribute to pioneers who not only created remarkable paintings but also generated momentum toward a more egalitarian art world.Published in association with the American Federation of ArtsExhibition Schedule:Denver Art Museum (10/22/17–01/14/18)Speed Art Museum (02/17/18–05/13/18)Clark Art Institute (06/09/18–09/03/18) Author Biography Laurence Madeline is an independent curator.

The strength of the book lies in the 89 large, high-quality plates, which are organized by themes typically found in the work of these artists. . . . This is an important book on a subject in need of documentation."-- Choice "This beautiful exhibition catalogue includes reproductions of the paintings, useful artist biographies, and six essays that provide context and analysis. These enrich our understanding of the obstacles, the training, the influences, and the communities of women artists who participated in the cultural life of the Impressionist capital of the nineteenth century."--Margot Irvine and Anna Sutton, Nineteenth-Century French Studies Description for Bookstore This volume celebrates the achievements of women artists in 19th-century Paris, a vibrant cultural center where they found rich opportunities despite their restricted access to a male-dominated art world.
