Read about the very one in our review. Date of publication: July 21 Text: Katya Kartseva Read Time: 6 - 10 minutes. It is clear to the naked eye that artists in the history of art are much less than artists of men.

An interesting paradox, because a modern person with drawing with drawing may seem exclusively female. However, the answer lies in the same view - in the world history of culture, only those women left a trace for whom art became a profession who crossed out all other forms of their social activity. Indeed, art, to an even greater extent than any other profession, requires complete return.

A woman who only recently achieved emancipation has traditionally been assigned other social roles. Women were not particularly supposed to work as a career, to work at all. So from the point of view of psychology and nature, at a certain moment, family and children become the most important business of a woman. Thus, most women artists deliberately made their choice not in favor of art.

It is also worth saying that the career of many famous artists was formed precisely by women who were nearby - Goya and the Duchess of Alba, Dali and Gala who also studied drawing in Russia. There are also a lot of examples when a woman-artist adopted the functions of a manager, engaged in the promotion of the career of her husband-artist or son-artist. In general, it is believed that a woman sometimes simply cannot write like a man.

For example, when we look at the canvases of Van Gogh, Gauguin, Sikeiros, their exclusively male “strong” shedding and drawing are immediately felt. However, of all the rules there are always exceptions. The brightest examples of women artists prove that in painting they can be no worse than men. In a sense, they can rightfully be called feminists from painting.

Even in those days when this term did not exist yet, they achieved success, despite a lot of factors contrary to this. The most successful female artists on the art market of Sophonisba Angissol-approx. Her life and creativity falls on the most significant period of the Italian Renaissance, called art critics with a high revival. Thus, Angissol is perhaps the most famous artist of the Italian Renaissance.

Since the year, she becomes the court artist of the Spanish king Philip II. Angissol is known mainly by court portraits of members of the royal family. Her works are in the leading museums in the world, such as Prado in Madrid and the Florence Museum. She was the court artist of the queen of France Maria Antoinette, according to the patronage of which was elected as members of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture.

Subsequently, Liezhe-Liebremen wrote portraits of numerous noble persons such as Willem I-King of Holland, Stanislav Ponatovsky-King of Poland, Lady Hamilton-Admiral Nelson's mistress, Princess of Prince Konstantin Pavlovich, second son Paul I and other members of the Russian imperial family. Her memoirs are also of great fame, some of which are devoted to the memories of Russia, in which the artist spent 6 years.

She wrote mainly portraits in the genre of Rococo and classicism. Marie Kasset American artist, whose name is rightfully standing on a par with the greatest impressionists. Firstly, being friendly with many of them, she did a lot to popularize them in America. Secondly, she herself wrote in the genre of impressionism and gained a rather great glory and recognition as an artist.

The leitmotif of her work was the psychological world of women, especially the relationship of mother and child. Suzanne Valadon - - French artist. In childhood, she worked in the circus with an acrobat, but at the age of 15 she fell from the trapezoid and was forced to complete the circus career. In the circus, she met and later acted as a model for Renoir, Degas, Lotrek and others.

Its portraits are found in the well -known works of these artists, so its appearance may be familiar to many. In particular, it is depicted in the picture of Renoir “Umbrellas” in the left side of the canvas, there are her personal portraits, for example, “Girl, Weaved Hair” by Renoir or the “laundress” of Lotrek. Encouraged by Edgar Degas Suzanne herself became an artist. When she died at her funeral, Pablo Picasso and Georges marriage came.

Her son Maurice Utrillo also gained great fame as an artist. Valadon wrote mainly portraits and landscapes. Marianna Verevkina German. Marianne von Werefkin Russian-German artist. Student Repin. Initially, she worked in the style of realism, reaching such skill that was called "Russian Rembrandt." In the year, on a hunt, she damaged the brush of her right hand for a lifetime, but over the years she was able to work as before.

In with A. Yavlensky, she moved to Munich, where she met a thing, Kandinsky, Lenbach. Under the influence of which began to work in the style of expressionism.It was exhibited with the Blue Horseman group, inserted her work at the first German autumn salon Zinaida Serebryakova came from a famous kind of representatives of various creative professions-Benois Lanser, she herself was married and had children, while managing to leave not a small mark in painting.

Of course, here an important aspect is that in the noble families of that time the skills to draw, play, write and recite poetry taught from early childhood and almost all the educated ladies of that time in the princip painted well. Zinaida Serebryakova, obviously, also had a certain patronage thanks to the connections of her relatives. Nevertheless, Serebryakova is one of the most talented and famous Russian artists.

It equally strongly embodies both of both the principles: a thin sensual female nature and an artist who clearly knows what he is doing and why. Natalia Goncharova - like Zinaida Serebryakova belonged to a noble noble family. She was the great -minded niece of A. Pushkin through the wife of the poet Natalya Goncharova. Unlike Serebryakova, Goncharova was not seen in a particular tendency to drawing.

Nevertheless, since childhood, I was fond of creating something with my own hands. Perhaps that is why her creative path developed in the Art Nouveau style, her craving for decorativeism, primitivism is clearly visible in her works. By the way, she was one of the first among European artists who paid attention to the collage technique. The future husband M. Larionov inspired the artist Goncharov, whom they met while studying at the school.

He inspired her for numerous creative searches, for some time she worked in the style he developed. Nevertheless, being married to Larionov, Goncharova was hardly inferior to him in the skill of painting, taking her special place in the history of art. Frida Kalo is one of the most famous women artists. In this case, as with Goncharova, initially her talent helped to reveal, by that time the already famous and held artist Diego River, who later became her husband.

However, in fame, Kalo largely surpassed her teacher and husband. Rivera subsequently admitted that in spite of everything, Frida's work struck him the first time and for life. As you know, Frida Kalo could not have children after the disaster that she fell into her youth. The same catastrophe, which cooled it for many months to the bed, contributed to her more and more passion for painting and developed her special, incomparable tragic-treacherous man of painting.

Frida’s mental tragedy, as women, who, despite great respect, brought the suffering of Diego Rivera, the famous womanizer, defined her triumph as an artist. It is difficult to imagine what the work of Frida would be and would bring her the same success for her, if not for her heavy female share. Vera Mukhina is the greatest sculptor of the twentieth century. One of its main works, the sculpture “Worker and collective farmer” created for the World Exhibition in Paris will forever remain one of the visual images of the Soviet Union.

Since the year, the sculpture has been the emblem of the Mosfilm film studio. Vera Mukhina became a laureate of five Stalinist awards. Nevertheless, in fact, her work is much more treated with the art and heritage of Art Nouveau than socialist realism. By the way, it is the design of Vera Mukhina that include the famous faceted glass. Louise Bourgeois - during her long life, a huge creative path has passed, covering different styles, directions and technology.

It can equally be called a painter and a sculptor. She worked both in figure technology and in the technique of abstract. However, all her works are equally saturated with female experiences and fears, from which she tried to get rid of her work. Most of all, she will probably be remembered by numerous sculptures of spiders, which she was afraid of from childhood.

As well as their artistic concepts that reflect in many ways female problems - sexual violence, cruelty and misunderstanding. Well, who can be called the feminist in painting most, so this is Louise Bourgeois - one of the symbols of the female principle in the traditionally male artistic community of the first half of the twentieth century. Trace Emin genus. Glory to her was brought to her by a television program dedicated to the Turner Prize, which Tracea fell into a drunk to die.

The shocking must be an important place in her work - sex and masturbation in drawings, used condoms and female tampons in installations. All this caused a flurry of indignation in Britain and all over the world, but apparently for the artist, this is just a way to pay attention to the female share unfair from nature and men. Of course, only these names are not limited to the list of outstanding women artists.

However, you can clearly trace. At the same time, today their number is becoming more and more. Without hesitation, women begin to express their feelings and protests, including through art.
