For as long as there’s been paint, there have been women painters - and the chances are, you haven’t heard of them. From artists at the forefront of the Dutch Golden Age to avant-garde radicals in Soviet Russia and surrealist thinkers in exile, this book gathers 65 painters from throughout history and across the world. This highly opinionated guide will tell you everything you need to know about the women behind the canvas (and quite a bit about what’s on the canvas too). First in a new series.
