Concise introductions provide key background information concerning the biographies of the artists presented in this anthology of over thirty texts by women painters and sculptors from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Art historical issues are integrated with literary history to define the matrix for these writings. For professional artists and all those interested in women artists.
Over the centuries, the art establishment has turned a deaf ear to the voices of women artists. These women were not silent, however, but constantly struggling to articulate their experience. For the first time, the unique and powerful voices of twenty female artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including such luminaries as Georgia O'Keeffe, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Barbara Hepworth, Faith Ringgold, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Frida Kahlo, have been gathered together in a single volume. These women all made eloquent and revealing disclosures about the personal and aesthetic issues that shaped their private lives, and their work. Often working in isolation, beset by doubt, and ignored by the commercial art world, they kept written records of their anxieties, their triumphs, and their artistic themes and methods in a wide variety of formats. Included are excerpts from private diaries, letters, essays, articles, poems, stories, and aesthetic manifestoes. Much of the material appears in print for the first time. The writings of artists have become an essential vehicle for understanding their art. A milestone in art history, Voicing Our Visions is compelling reading for anyone concerned with women and art. This lively collection of texts provides a clearer understanding and deeper enjoyment of the work of twenty leading women artists. -- Back Cover

The work of Western women artists, past and present, is collected here in a stunning array of forms: fiction, poetry, autobiography, essay, journal and letter writing, sculpture, painting, graphics, photography, ceramics, needlework, music, and dance. The unique experience of women artists from diverse national, ethnic, racial, and economic backgrounds is explored from their own viewpoints, as are the relationships between women's social condition and women's art.
Examining work by a wide range of women artists from different cultures and historical periods, Women Making Art asks why women's work has been seen as secondary, and mobilizes contemporary feminist thinking to reconsider how and why women have made art.
