Often written from a male perspective, the dominant narratives of art history have largely ignored the writings of female artists. Yet these varied texts, ranging from diaries to newspaper articles, bear witness to the desires, efforts, struggles and successes of female creators. Drawing on their words, the podcast “Words of Women Artists” gives voice to their version of history. The unique perspectives revealed allow us to better understand the visual arts, but above all, to renew our understanding of the dynamics of art history.In this first season, co-produced by AWARE and the Musée d'Orsay, with the support of the FAMM museum, we will listen to the voices of activist artists from the second half of the 19th century. Through their writing, they defended their right to found women-only art societies, access to quality art education, and the right to compete for the Prix de Rome, among other demands.his second episode is devoted to Hélène Bertaux, born Joséphine Charlotte Hélène Pilate in 1825, who was much more than a talented sculptor: she championed women's right to create, learn and exhibit their work.“It is better to be an unsung talent than a praised mediocrity”, she repeatedly declared.Her talent was recognised, and Hélène Bertaux quickly became one of the few women to make a name for herself in France in the field of monumental and public sculpture.

Souvent écrits au masculin, les grands récits de l'histoire de l'art ont fait peu de cas des écrits produits par les artistes femmes. Pourtant, du journal intime à l'article de presse, ces textes sont d'une grande diversité. Ils témoignent des désirs, des efforts, des difficultés et des succès des créatrices. En puisant dans leurs mots, le podcast « Paroles d'artistes femmes » propose de faire entendre leur version de l'histoire. Les perspectives singulières ainsi dévoilées nous permettent de mieux comprendre leurs œuvres plastiques, mais surtout, de renouveler notre compréhension des dynamiques de l'histoire de l'art.Dans cette première saison, coproduite par AWARE et le musée d'Orsay, avec le soutien du musée FAMM, nous écouterons les artistes engagées de la seconde moitié du xixe siècle. Elles ont défendu la création de sociétés artistiques non mixtes, l'accès à un enseignement artistique de qualité et le droit à concourir au prix de Rome, entre autres revendications. Cela avec l'outil de l'écriture notamment. Ce deuxième épisode est consacré à Hélène Bertaux, née Joséphine Charlotte Hélène Pilate en 1825, qui fut bien plus qu'une sculptrice talentueuse : elle revendiqua le droit des femmes à créer, à apprendre, à exposer.Mieux vaut être une valeur méconnue, qu'une médiocrité vantée, déclare-t-elle à maintes reprises.Sa valeur est reconnue, et Hélène Bertaux devient rapidement l'une des rares femmes à s'illustrer en France dans le domaine de la sculpture monumentale et publique.

The landscapes and humble fishing families of this region were a great source of inspiration to her. Her naturalistic paintings convey a harmonious vision, without omitting the harshness of living conditions.
