A very brief overlook of women artists

The link I have posted is entitled “Highlights from the National Museum of Women in the Arts” and is through the Washington Post. This short video is narrated by Judy L. Larson and shows a total of twelve works from the past and present which are included in the gallery. After you watch the video, click on the bottom where it stays “View Individual Images and Captions” so you can read a little about each piece and see who the artist is. Several of them are wives of famous artists like Pollock and de Kooning. Frida Kahlo is included also, as well as some newer pieces and newer mediums. The second piece in the slideshow is a place setting for Emily Dickinson from Judy Chicago’s “The Dinner Party.” (I did a post on “The Dinner Party” earlier this semester) Another piece I thought was interesting is the tenth painting entitled “A Gentleman’s Table” which shows an arrangement of “male” indulgences such as liquor and gambling. So enjoy, it’s a quick clip.
