A total of 717 artists, from the years 1060 to 1900, from more than 50 countries, make up a history of art parallel to the official one. A set of artists, movements, trends, styles, artistic genres and plastic languages that confirms the presence and importance of women artists throughout history, with special attention to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
Essential female artists of their time in history, such as Angelika Kauffmann and Rosa Bonheur, and of course Artemisia Gentileschi and Claude Cahun, but also Alice Austen and Tina Modotti, Georgia O'Keefe and Marie Laurencin and Madame Yevonde and Consuelo Kanaga, Gabriele Münter and Nahui Olin, the Sorolla sisters and Luisa Roldan and Paula Modersohn-Becker… Photographers, designers, painters, illustrators, draughtsmen, sculptors, engravers and filmmakers… From Samoa to France, the United States and Germany, from Ukraine to the Philippines. With a significant presence of Latin American pioneers and Spanish artists. A world map of unknown but essential names to complete the true and complete history of universal art.
This first volume of ELLAS is the first part of the project that will be completed with a second volume dedicated exclusively to artists born between 1900 and 1950, a much more open and current panorama, with greater visibility of the work of women artists, but which maintains many of the problems and attitudes that we see in previous centuries.
Biographical and professional information is provided for each artist, including his or her historical and cultural moment, analyzing his or her work and providing information on where some of his or her work can be found today. Some 681 images of his or her work and period portraits accompany the texts, and the book closes with alphabetical, chronological, country and artistic subject indexes, as a support for any study, consultation or research.
