Great Women Artists Box Set Product Description This fascinating series presents an informative and entertaining look at three of the greatest women artists of all time. The programs provide an in-depth look into their lives, and include numerous examples of their works while examining their styles which made them unique in the world of art. These original programs also feature spectacular imagery and many rare historical photographs. Children and naturalism are the hallmarks of Mary Cassatt's work during the 1880s and 1890s. Cassatt absorbed from her Impressionist colleagues Caillebotte, Degas, and Renoir, as well as her study of Japanese prints, the modern idea that the background of a painting might be as significant as the foreground. Her paintings depict a world of her own creation, one that adults can fully understand only by recapturing their childhood persona. Frida Kahlo began to paint in 1925 while recovering from a streetcar accident that left her permanently disabled. Many of her two hundred paintings directly relate to her experiences with physical pain. They also chronicle her turbulent relationship with artist Diego Rivera. During her lifetime, Kahlo did not enjoy the same level of recognition as the great artists of Mexican muralism, Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros. However, today Kahlo's work is critically and monetarily as prized as that of her male peers, sometimes more so. Georgia O¹Keeffe was an American abstract painter, famous for the purity and lucidity of her still-life compositions. In 1916 the American photographer and art gallery director Alfred Stieglitz (whom she married in 1924) became interested in her abstract drawings and exhibited them at his gallery in New York City and in other important institutions. O'Keeffe moved to New Mexico in 1949, and is best known for her large paintings of desert flowers and scenery, in which single blossoms or objects such as a cow's skull are presented in close-up views. |
