Summary Note Forgotten Women' is a series of books that uncover the lost herstories of influential women who have refused over hundreds of years to accept the hand they've been dealt and, as a result, have formed, shaped and changed the course of our futures. From leaders and scientists to artists and writers, the fascinating stories of these women that time forgot are now celebrated, putting their achievements firmly back on the map. 'The Artists' brings together the stories of 48 brilliant woman artists who made huge yet unacknowledged contributions to the history of art, including Camille Claudel, the extraordinarily talented sculptor who was always unfairly overshadowed by her lover, Rodin; Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, who has been claimed as the true originator of Marcel Duchamp's 'Fountain'; and Ana Mendieta, the Cuban refugee who approached violence against women through her performance art before her own untimely death. With chapters ranging from Figurative to Photography, and Craft to Conceptual, this is an alternative guide to art history that demonstrates the broad range of artistic movements that included, and were often pioneered by, female artists who have been largely overlooked.
“Forgotten women: the artists, is art history as you’ve never seen it before. Artists such as Camille Claudel, the sculptor who believed her lover Rodin imitated all her work and Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, allegedly the true originator of Duchamp’s Fountain, demonstrate the many innovations that were pioneered by female artists since erased from the canon." – Back cover.
