The Story Of Art

I am so thrilled this book exists' Elizabeth Day
'Brilliantly readable... Outraged and celebratory, it's chock-full of female trail-blazers' Jennifer Higgie, The Mirror and the Palette. The story of art as it's never been told before, by the creator of @thegreatwomenartists. How many women artists do you know? Who makes art history? Did women even work as artists before the twentieth century? And what is the Baroque anyway? Discover the glittering Sofonisba Anguissola of the Renaissance, the radical work of Harriet Powers in the nineteenth-century USA and the artist who really invented the Readymade. Explore the Dutch Golden Age, the astonishing work of post-War artists in Latin America and the women artists defining art in the 2020s. Have your sense of art history overturned, and your eyes opened to many art forms often overlooked or dismissed. From the Cornish coast to Manhattan, Nigeria to Japan, this is the history of art as it's never been told before.
