Women

 Women

For centuries, women weren't able to paint in their own names. They had to hide and sign their painting with men's names.

Women like, Angelica Kauffman, who we saw previously, Rosa Bonheur, Sofonisba Anguissola and so much more helped to fight this discrimination and today women are a major part of the artistic world.

Indeed without women art world would be quite boring.

Camille Claudel, keep this name in memory because without her all the work of Rodin will not be the same.

Camille Claudel is a French sculptor who was a student of French Sculptor Rodin.

1864-1943

She was incredibly talented and inspired Rodin with a lot of his work. She inspired him, but she also sculpts a lot of his work. She had not reconnaissance, and Rodin put her out of art by pretending it was all his and took all the credit.

Moreover, he uses his reputation to ruin her name in the art industry. Those events made her lose her mind and she ends up in a psychiatric hospital. She was left all alone, expected by her father who always believed her and was her bigger supporter.

It is really important to remember her and her contribution to the sculpture world.

She mostly worked on bronze.

The Mature Age

Paul Claudel at age of 37

-Frida Kahlo, a major figure of feminism and art. She is a Mexican artist born in 1907. Since a young age, Khalo had always been a rebel. She fought gender norms by dressing as a boy and doing things that were prohibited for women, like wearing pants for example.

When she was a teenager, she met Diego Rivera and impressed by his work started painting. She was involved in a bus accident the same year, which had major sequels on her health until the end of her life. After this accident, her spine was severely impacted and she had to stay in bed for few months wearing a corset.

She, who used to be so energetic was extremely bored in this bed, so she started painting on it.

Once she was able to get up, she concentrate her time on painting. She mixed surrealism, modern art, cubism, magical realism, and symbolism.

The Two Fridas- 1939

She paints all the trauma she had and events of her life which she mixed with symbols. This way everyone can see themselves in those paintings.

She was not only an amazing painter but she was also involved in political movements. She fought for Mexican rights and was involved in communism. She hid Trotsky and his wife when they were hiding from the Russian government.

1950

Her Mexican heritage was really important to her and she always represented it in her paintings. 

She paints until the day she died in 1954. She died in the same place she was born, The Casa Azul. It is an amazing place that you can still visit today.
