Description

This volume is a celebration of the 200 women artists in the Tate Collection. In a series of individual entries, the book takes the reader from the 17th century, when few professional opportunities were open to women artists, to the 21st century. Topics discussed include the changing position of women artists and major developments throughout the period, as well as critical thought on women artists and their interpretation and reception. The text on each artist gives an introduction to each woman's life and work in the context of her times,and a flavour of her individual contribution.
