Krátky popis
The story of modern British art history told through the stories of
its women. Consider for a moment the history of modern art in
Britain, you may struggle to land on a narrative that features very
many women. On this journey through a fascinating period of social
change, artist Carolyn Trant fills in some of the gaps in
traditional art histories.Introducing the lives and works of a rich
network of neglected women artists, British Women Artists sets
these alongside such renowned presences as Barbara Hepworth, Laura
Knight and Winifred Nicholson. In an era of radical activism and
great social and political change, women forged new relationships
with art and its institutions. Such change was not without its
challenges, and with acerbic wit Trant delves into the gendered
make-up of the ‘avant-garde’, and the tyranny of artistic ‘isms’.In
the decades after women won the vote in Britain, the fortunes of
women artists were shaped by war, domesticity, continued
oppressions and spirited resistance. Some succeeded in forging
creative careers, others were thwarted by the odds stacked against
them. Weaving devastating individual stories with playful critique,
British Women Artists reveals this hidden history.
