ARTNEws: 18 Preserved Studios of Famous Female Artists That You Can Visit

For centuries in Western art, depictions of the artist’s studio—by artists from Courbet to Matisse to Wolfgang Tillmans—have shown it largely as a masculine environment. But as epitomized in such paintings as Night Studio (2009) by Nicole Eisenman and The Artist in Her Studio (1994) by Paula Rego, it has long been both a testing ground and a sanctuary for women artists as well. For the 18 female artists considered below, including painters, sculptors, photographers, designers, and architects, their studios were also their homes. And luckily for us, these imaginative spaces—from Maud Lewis’s cottage in Nova Scotia, covered inside and out with painted flowers, leaves, and birds, to Georgia O’Keeffe’s sparsely furnished house and studio in New Mexico—are open to the public.

Greek Reporter: Ancient Greek Female Artists – The Feminine Aesthetic in Antiquity

In antiquity, the pursuit of the divine arts was a purely male aesthetic practice. Yet, there were also a few important Ancient Greek female artists. It was only much later that historians began to consider their work as not only of interest but also equal value. This was not only problematic in antiquity, however, for women today are still often grossly under-represented. For example, an article published in The New York Times in 2011 showed that in the ten years between 2008 and 2018, only eleven percent of the work museums collected were by female artists.

ARTNews: National Gallery of Art Uses $10 M. Donation to Back Purchases of Work by Women Artists

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is using a $10 million gift from the family of a former trustee to fund the acquisition of works by women artists. The money comes from the relatives of Vicki Sant, the late collector who became the museum’s first female president in 2003. It will now be put toward addressing historical gaps in the museum’s collection. Sant was a member of the museum’s board from 2000 until her death in 2018. She served as chair of the board from 2003 to 2014.

GBP News: Two Painters, Two Women, Two Portraits — One Fascinating Story of Artistic Influence

It's said that Pablo Picasso once observed, "Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal." Or appropriate? Filch? Quote? Pinch? Steal gets right to it though. But in the case of these two great artists, they also honor, imitate, learn from, and certainly study. Studying these two portraits, two curators — one at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, the other at the National Gallery in London — found interesting differences and similarities.

The San Diego Union-Tribune: The TikTokification of Instagram is Hurting Artists

Pursuit of eyeballs pollutes the purpose of creative expression. Artists rely on social media to be discovered by potential buyers and investors, but the relationship between artisan and buyer is shifting in sync with the changes on the platform through which they interact. Not only are the developments at Instagram damaging an artist’s ability to market themselves, but they are also negatively impacting an artist’s capacity to self-express.

Forbes: The $192 Billion Gender Gap In Art

Researchers presented a computer-generated artwork to study participants and asked them to rate how much they liked the painting. Half of the participants saw a female name listed as the artist below the work, and half saw a male name. In both cases, the painting was the same, computer-generated painting. Participants who had an interest in art and visited museums gave higher ratings when a male artist was listed. This result clearly indicates that the preference for male artwork is a function of gender bias and not differing talent between men and women.

The Art Newspaper: Artists take to Instagram to criticise Gilbert & George’s claims that museums are now ‘woke’ and only focus on Black and women artists

Last year, they told the Financial Times that "all the museums now are woke" and that museums now favour "all black art, all women art, all this art and that art," resulting in their work being sidelined. They point to the fact that Tate holds 23 of their works in its collection, which are "never shown".
