When I was first at Art School I complained to my art history tutor that he didn't teach about women artists. He told me to find some. I did in a big way. He taught about them.
My wife and I play the National Gallery of Art’s “Artle” every day. In general, we do reasonably well identifying the artist. During this March’s Women’s History Month, all the works were by women. Except for a very few who are well known,such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Mary Cassatt, we had no idea who it was. Fits right in with what she’s trying to achieve. Good for her!
I only know about Charlotte Fairchild, the noted photographer, because my name is Charlotte Fairchild and I googled my name. We are not related. She married John Cummings Fairchild, my cousin. Charlotte Fairchild was born in 1876, during our country's Centennial Celebration.
Please make note of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC, all art by women, renaissance to modern art, open since late 1980s. A remarkable museum!
The ratio of great women artists to great male visual artists over history - and this applies as well to architects or composers - is pretty much the same as the ratio of women to men who've pursued art as a profession. Women entering into these pursuits in some quantity started in the 1950's. When Alice Neel began to paint in New York, women painters were very isolated. It's not a criticism; just a fact.
Art History is about artists who were innovators; those who MADE HISTORY by creating art. Art History is not about competent painters. like Artemesia Gentileschi, or popular painters like Angelica Kaufmann. This is the reason why a thousand highly competent British Portrait painters of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries have names that are unknown, but whose works hang on the walls of Town Halls, University Colleges and institutions up and down the country. When we talk about Artemesia Gentileschi being under-appreciated, we need to remember that the enormously innovative Caravaggio ,her master by descent, was not "discovered" until relatively recently, and neither was Vermeer. While "Art History" may seem to treat female artists with discrimination, because they were fewer in number, and did not paint the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, the 20th century had honoured its innovative females. When I started studying Art History sixty years ago, nobody labelled Barbara Hepworth, Nora Heyson, Laura Knight, Margaret Preston, Margaret Olley, Frida Kahlo, or Georgia O'Keefe as FEMALE artists. They were simply artists, in their various fields of painting, sculpture and print-making, One spoke of Hepworth in the same sentence as Arp and le Corbusier. No-one would ever say "the distinguished female artist, Barbara Hepworth". The HISTORICAL contexts of Gentileschi and Kaufman n need to be taken into account. If we are going to remember Gentileshi or Caravaggio, then it is for a very good reason that we remember the highly innovative artist whose style the later artist imitated. But if we are going to remember Diego Rivera or Frida Kahlo, then we will award the palm to Kahlo, not because of her gender, not because of her politics, but simply because her work is original and impelling in nature. This is how an artist ought to e judged and remembered.
There are already many art exhibitions and competitions that restrict entry to women. Several years ago I went to a San Francisco gallery showing art by women and was treated very rudely by the lesbians running it. Absolute hate without any justification. Nice way to make new friends.
It's very disappointing to have to acknowledge how selfish & unfair Caucasian male humans have been...since they existed. I hope the 'reparations' to remedy this blatant disparity won't take another f---g millennium. Meanwhile, I appreciate people like Katy Hessel & Holly Williams, who help us realize it, & make us smarter & more compassionate humans.
Men back then did think less of women however.... who gathered the raw ingredients to make paint? Not women, who fought in wars and painted what they saw? Not women. Seems like this woman is missing the point that women lived very safe lives without the burden of physical work like men back then. If you can talk about history then you should know more about it.
O'Keefe, Frida Kahlo, Judy Chicago, some I can't name at seven a.m...there's no paucity of publicized female artists in the twentieth century. And in the twenty first they're just as abstract and dull as the men.

No Art there by Florence Seymour? 1904-2006. RIP No art there by Charlotte Fairchild, married to John Cummings Fairchild?

The art historian who talks more about women rather than of art itself.
There will be a book written by AI, the art without humans in the coming months

stop bashing men. Women could have made art if they wanted.. Stop bashing men. Stop making new about gender of color.
Can you point out where in the video she bashes men?
Keep exposing yourself, We are noticing. Can't stop it.

This is so 1989.
