A richly illustrated book, We Are Artists celebrates the life and work
of fifteen female artists from around the globe and the distinctive mark
they made on art. Presented as a collection of exciting biographical
stories, each section reveals how the artist's unique approach and
perspective provided art and society with a new way of seeing things.
We Are Artists places the spotlight on women painters, sculptors,
printmakers, illustrators, designers, and craftswomen who created
monumental artwork, often against daunting odds. The book includes
reproductions of modern and contemporary artwork by Frida Kahlo, Yayoi
Kusama, Georgia O'Keeffe, Alma Thomas, and Kenojuak Ashevak, to name a
few. Through their personal stories, readers will learn about the art
movements each artist worked in and the influence they exerted on both
the art world and society as a whole.
This book starts to rewrite art history for the next generation, and
will inspire young readers and artists everywhere.
