She Persisted: Women Artists in Art History
Mary Strauss Women in the Arts lecture with Bridget Quinn, author of Broad Strokes: 15 Women Who Made Art and Made History (in That Order)
In 1971 art historian Linda Nochlin posed an astonishing question in her revolutionary essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” In subsequent decades, much has been discovered and hotly debated, yet many of Western history’s great women artists remain obscure. Bridget Quinn, author of Broad Strokes: 15 Women Who Made Art and Made History (in That Order), aims to provide a short corrective to this lamentable fact, discussing several artists featured in her book whose works are in the Saint Louis Art Museum’s collection.
