Women in the arts throughout history
POPULARITY
Portland Playhouse in Northeast Portland is currently performing "Angry, Raucous, and Shamelessly Gorgeous." The play follows four Black women artists as they confront their own and each other’s evolving definitions of art, protest, and storytelling. Audiences have until March 15 to see performances by Faith Lavon and Ashlee Radney, who play actors of different generations. They join us to discuss the production and its relevance today.
Eleanor Thompson, 79, the first Black member elected to the Beacon City Council, died Jan. 17. She was born April 23, 1946, the daughter of Rosalee Thompson, who in 1962 moved from Charleston, South Carolina, to New York City to provide opportunities for her daughters, Eleanor and Vera. Rosalee died in 2019. Eleanor earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Lehman College and, in 2000, a master's degree in education from Columbia University. She was a schoolteacher in New York City before moving to Beacon. After selling real estate for 18 years, she retired to Texas in 2010. Eleanor was elected as a Democrat in November 2001 to represent Ward 2, when she was 55, defeating Don Gallo, the Republican incumbent, 391-321. It was standing-room-only at her swearing-in, and the other officials sworn in that day, including Member-At-Large (and current mayor) Lee Kyriacou, all used the Thompson family bible. Eleanor was re-elected in 2003, then elected to an at-large seat in 2005 and 2007. She also ran for the state Assembly in 2006 but lost to incumbent Thomas Kirwan. In 2007, as a board member at the Howland Cultural Center, Eleanor envisioned a program that would connect communities through music. "When it comes to cultural diversity, we're all students," she said. Her advocacy led to the creation of the Gospel Cafe, according to HCC. Eleanor began painting, drawing and taking photographs at age 9. In an interview with the Poughkeepsie Journal in 2000, she recalled visiting her aunt and cousin in Newburgh and painting pictures of the Hudson River, of men and boys fishing on the banks and of the ferry. (She described herself as "a water person.") She said she had recently thrown herself into sculpture after taking a class at Columbia. "It was the best thing that happened to me," she said. She focused on female figures. "My whole thing is I want to give my sisters out there some recognition — the brown ones, the black ones, the white ones, the yellow ones — we are fantastic." With the support of longtime HCC director Florence Northcutt, Eleanor expanded the focus of art exhibits to include more women and artists of color. She contributed to shows such as Women Artists of the Hudson Valley in 2000 and A Celebration of Women of Color in the Arts in 2006. In 2019, she returned to Beacon with her grandson, Bobby, for The 25th Anniversary of African-American Artists in the Hudson Valley. In addition to her civic service, Eleanor co-founded the Young Artists' Mentoring Project; served as program director at the Martin Luther King Community Center; established a curriculum for the Partnership with Schools and Businesses; and was a dedicated member of the Beacon Light Tabernacle Seventh-day Adventist Church. Among her awards: the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs' Community Award (2004), the Eleanor Roosevelt Legacy Award (2005), the Shirley Chisholm Legacy Award (2005) and the inaugural Beacon Community Award presented by Beacon City Concerned Citizens. A memorial service is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday (March 1) at Beacon Light Tabernacle, 1568 Route 9D, in Wappingers Falls. Memorial donations may be made to the Howland Cultural Center (dub.sh/thompson-hcc).

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.

For a long time, the artist was best known for having meticulously documented her life in her diary, which spans nearly 19,000 pages. Succumbing to tuberculosis at the age of 25, on the verge of fame, Bashkirtseff left us few works. Some of her paintings have nevertheless become iconic.

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. Born into a large family of artists, the painter achieved official and critical recognition during her lifetime and became known for her feminist activism with the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors.

A major new exhibition in the heart of Washington celebrates the artistic achievements of native American women with more than 80 works of art.华盛顿市中心举办了一场大型新展览,展出了80多件艺术作品,以颂扬美国原住民女性的艺术成就。Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists is the first exhibit of its kind,Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists是该类型的首个展览,says Anya Montiel, curator of American and Native American Women's Art and Crafts at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.史密森尼美国艺术博物馆伦威克美术馆的美洲及原住民女性艺术与工艺策展人安雅·蒙蒂尔表示。There have been other exhibitions in the past that have featured only native women artists, but those exhibitions tended to feature contemporary art.过去也曾有其他展览专门展示原住民女性艺术家的作品,但这些展览往往以当代艺术为主。So the curators of this show, they wanted to make sure that this exhibition is comprehensive in the timespan as well as including many different artistic mediums as possible.本次展览的策展人希望确保展览在时间跨度上全面涵盖,并尽可能包含多种不同的艺术媒介。Those mediums range from paintings, textiles and sculptures to baskets and even wearable art.这些媒介包括绘画、纺织品、雕塑、篮子,甚至还有可穿戴艺术。The exhibit explores three central themes: legacy, relationship and power.该展览探讨了三个核心主题:传承、关系和权力。Legacy is really talking about continuum. A lot of these artists have learned these traditions from their ancestors.传承实际上是在探讨延续性。许多艺术家从他们的祖先那里继承了这些传统。Adorned with teeth from hunted elk, it took many years to gather enough to decorate a single dress.这件衣服用猎获的麋鹿牙齿装饰,要花好多年才能收集到足够数量来点缀一件衣裳。So you have this dress that is put together by the women of the family, but with this beautiful decoration, that really shows the legacy of the entire family.你有一件由家族女性共同缝制的连衣裙,而且上面有精美的装饰 ,这真的展现了整个家族的传承。The theme of relationship represents the connection between humans and the earth.关系的主题象征着人类与地球之间的纽带。This one is called Wisdom of the Universe by Christi Belcourt. And it looks like beadwork, but it's actually all painting in acrylic.这幅作品名为《宇宙的智慧》,作者是克里斯蒂·贝尔科特。它看起来像珠绣作品,但实际上全是丙烯画。And upon closer inspection, the insects, the birds and the plants are actually endangered species, and so it's really presenting to us what are we gonna do about this.再仔细观察就会发现,这些昆虫、鸟类和植物实际上都是濒危物种,这真的向我们展示了我们该怎么做。The theme of power speaks to the authority of native women within their nations.权力的主题体现了原住民女性在其民族内部的权威。Especially for the Muscogee Creek, they are matrilineal nation. The women were the ones who made the decisions, especially about whether or not they were gonna go to war.尤其是穆斯科吉人,他们是母系社会。做决定的是女性,尤其是关于是否要发动战争的决定。Visitors to the exhibit had an emotional response. The last piece I was just looking at had a scar from a woman's shoulder to her hip, and the trauma of the culture that has been really traumatized by another was extremely impactful.参观展览的观众产生了情感共鸣。我刚才看的最后一件作品描绘了一个女人从肩膀到臀部的伤疤,而那种深受另一种文化创伤影响的文化所带来的冲击极其强烈。The one over there with the girl and the scar in the back that was really powerful. I don't know. It's just like, I almost wanted to cry when I saw it.那边有个女孩,后背有一道伤疤,真的给我很强烈的冲击。不知道为什么,我看到它的时候差点哭了。And that's the point of this exhibit, expose people to the variety of artwork created by native American women who may never have received the credit they deserve.这就是本次展览的意义所在,让大众有机会欣赏到那些可能从未获得应有认可的原住民女性艺术家所创作的丰富多样的艺术作品。This exhibition has so many testaments of these women saying that despite everything that's happened to native women, the cultures and the traditions are still so strong.这场展览中有许多来自这些女性的证言,她们表示尽管原住民女性遭遇了种种磨难,但文化与传统依然坚韧不衰。This touring exhibit remains in Washington until May. 该巡回展览将在华盛顿展出到五月。
This episode is all about the “secret menu”, a concept that Lauren dreamed up for offering unprofitable skills that she still enjoys doing for herself and others. The hosts discuss the value of thinking of your own secret menu and how it can become a creative form of community care.

Rachael is ready to get serious about being an artist; so she and Lauren discuss a common component of presenting yourself as one: a portfolio.

“Bologna was unique in championing the professions of women. The home of Europe's oldest university, which has supported female students since the thirteenth century, the city considered women artists integral to its development” - Katy Hessel, The Story of Art Without MenWelcome to Episode #128:Bologna is one of those places that has that quintessential Italian feel. A medieval city with wonderful heritage and a place where tradition and conviviality are maintained. Many people love to visit for the food and there is a lot to say about the glories of the table in Bologna. I went there for art, food and wine and found myself lured by the beautiful porticoes that dominate the city and a significant visit to Santa Caterina. There are UNESCO World Heritage sites and al fresco ambience like no other. I often wonder why more people don't visit this city. It has so much to offer in terms of the magic of travel in Italy.Visit Bologna MichelleJohnston.life for the Shownotes and Visuals!A Writer in Italy InstagramSubstack - At My TableMichelle's BooksMusical Scores by Richard Johnston© 2025 A Writer In Italy - travel, books, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston © 2025Support the show
In this tender, honest, and inspiring conversation, Boston-based abstract artist and longtime educator Christina Chang returns to Paige's Pod to catch us up on everything that's changed since her last visit in 2021. Christina shares how her art practice is helping her move through a season of huge transition: getting married, becoming a soon-to-be empty nester, caring for her father who has Alzheimer's, and investing in the business side of her work as an Asian American creative entrepreneur. We talk about painting as a way to process grief, the joy of collaborating with her endurance-athlete husband on an “Art & Run” gallery event, and what it really looks like to prioritize creativity and self-care in midlife. If you've ever wondered how to keep making meaningful work while life keeps… life-ing, this episode will feel like a warm, honest hug from a fellow artist on the path.To Connect with Christina:-Website: christinachangart.com-Instagram: @christinachang_art

Art Historian Eleanor Walker joins us this episode to discuss the life and patronage of Isabella d'Este, Marchioness of Mantua. Isabella perfectly bridges the northern courts of Este Ferrara and Gonzaga Mantua, serving as the pivotal figure who united the two courts.Eleanor Walker introduces us to the life and vibrant personality of this Renaissance giant, looking at the scope and limitations of women in power in the northern courts. Then we turn to her patronage, diving deep into her portrait by Titian and a copy of another Titian portrait of Isabella by the Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens.

What is it that fascinates us in art? What does a painting do to us? Why do artists do what they do?Art is such a vast and individuell yet universal field to explore. When and why does an artist become an artist?In my conversation with New York based, American-Pakistani artist, Tanya Minhas, we explore the invisible in art. Tanya shares her fascination for nature and the tiny moments, that inspire her thinking and her work.She shares the moment, that made it inevitable for her to commit fully to a life as an artist. It had to do with facing challenges, grief and searching for a language to be able to truly express herself and her emotions. ( As she quoted from a book she once read "Life is not all HiHi-HaHa"). Words would not suffice, and she strongly felt that the only true, freeing and authentic language for her was found in speaking through art. So she did and committed to fully be and live as an artist.Tanya's Pakistani heritage strongly influences her work, which particularly reflects in her current show. Tanya integrates and balances her artistic practice with family life - working when possible in a meditative state.Tanya Minhas has been showing her work successfully throughout the Eastcoast in various group shows and exhibitions. Her current solo show "A Tapestry of Dreams" is on view in New York City with her gallery Winston Wächter. Tanya holds a degree from Princeton University and an MBA from Columbia University. She started her career in management consulting, yet later joined the Arts Student League and studied portrait painting under MaryBeth McKenzie, to eventually move into abstract work.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

Joyce Weidenaar is a painter and monoprintmaker living in New York City. She began pursuing art ten years ago after retiring from a real estate career. Her works have been seen in solo and group exhibitions, and in private collections. Her paintings are rendered realistically but with unusual framing, bright colors and often a bit of whimsy. Her prints emphasize texture and are purely abstract. Joyce is a member of the National Association of Women Artists, Pleiades Gallery, The Art Students League of New York and the West Side Arts Coalition. Her paintings and prints are viewable on Instagram (@joyceweidenaar) and on her website (http://www.joyceweidenaarartworks.com). Her gallery talk at the Port Washington Public Library can be seen here. In addition to her art endeavors, Joyce is an avid ballroom dancer and skier.

Women including: Louise Blanchard Bethune, the first professional female architect in the United States • Clara Driscoll, glass artist and designer of the most famous Tiffany lamps ever made Belle da Costa Greene, librarian and visionary behind the Morgan Library Pan Yuliang, the first woman in China to paint in the Western style Clara Rockmore, pioneer of electronic music Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Vanguard of the American Dadaist movement Lori and Maria are working hard to refocus the narrative in the right direction and we are all for it.

Offering a fresh perspective on the influence of the American southwest—and particularly West Texas—on the New York art world of the 1950s, Three Women Artists: Expanding Abstract Expressionism in the American West (Texas A&M UP, 2022) aims to establish the significance of itinerant teaching and western travel as a strategic choice for women artists associated with traditional centers of artistic authority and population in the eastern United States. The book is focused on three artists: Elaine de Kooning, Jeanne Reynal, and Louise Nevelson. In their travels to and work in the High Plains, they were inspired to innovate their abstract styles and introduce new critical dialogues through their work. These women traveled west for the same reason artists often travel to new places: they found paid work, markets, patrons, and friends. This Middle American context offers us a “decentered” modernism—demanding that we look beyond our received truths about Abstract Expressionism. Authors Amy Von Lintel and Bonnie Roos demonstrate that these women's New York avant-garde, abstract styles were attractive to Panhandle-area ranchers, bankers, and aspiring art students. Perhaps as importantly, they show that these artists' aesthetics evolved in light of their regional experiences. Offering their work as a supplement and corrective to the frameworks of patriarchal, East Coast ethnocentrism, Von Lintel and Roos make the case for Texas as influential in the national art scene of the latter half of the twentieth century. Kirstin L. Ellsworth has a Ph.D. in the History of Art from Indiana University and is Associate Professor of Art History at California State University Dominguez Hills.

“The only one that cares about the extra five pounds you put on is you…Everybody in your life…should want to enjoy your presence and your photos.” For many women, having their picture taken is an excruciating experience; it's something they'd do anything to avoid. That intense self-criticism is something that portrait photographer Elizabeth Snyder wanted to address. So, a few years back, she shifted to a unique speciality. Working primarily with women aged 35 years and up she's developed a thoughtful, step-by-step process that's about learning to see yourself differently and letting go of shame.The results are extraordinary because the thing that makes Elizabeth, the perfect person to help these women overcome their doubt are the incredible trials and tribulations she's endured on her own path to self-fulfillment.

She has helped hundreds of women feel comfortable in front of the camera. Elizabeth has been exploring photography for the last 33 years, starting with working in her family's darkroom at age eight.

De la Vénus de Milo à la Joconde en passant par Les demoiselles d'Avignon ou la Jeune fille à la Perle, les femmes sont souvent représentées dans les œuvres d'art. Mais quand il s'agit des femmes artistes, elles semblent bien moins présentes voire absentes des galeries ou des musées. Au-delà peut-être de la peintre Frida Kahlo ou de l'artiste multi-casquettes Niki de Saint Phalle, les noms de femmes connues dans le monde de l'art ne viennent pas facilement en tête pour le grand public. En France, un seul musée porte le nom d'une femme, celui de la sculptrice Camille Claudel. Les femmes seraient-elles moins créatives, moins talentueuses que les hommes ? Evidemment non, les femmes citées plus haut ont d'ailleurs su gagner leur place dans le milieu artistique et prouver leur légitimité. La sous-représentation de l'art au féminin pose néanmoins question et le sujet est loin d'être anecdotique. En créant, peignant, sculptant, c'est aussi une vision du monde, une sensibilité, une représentation des corps, un regard sur nos sociétés que les artistes proposent. Il est donc important de pouvoir aussi entendre le point de vue des femmes. Le problème est également pécuniaire, car si l'art est un marché, ce sont encore les hommes qui obtiennent la plus grosse part du gâteau. Comment visibiliser l'art féminin ? Quels rôles des musées et des galeries ? Avec : • Camille Morineau, historienne de l'art et commissaire d'exposition. Co-fondatrice et directrice de AWARE (Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions) une association qui répertorie et visibilise les femmes artistes • Esther Korman, fondatrice de la galerie d'art Esther & Paul à Paris • Dieynaba Sidibé, dit Zeinixx, graffeuse, pionnière du Street art féminin au Sénégal. En fin d'émission, la chronique Écouter le monde de Monica Fantini. Programmation musicale : ► Déjà Vu – Emma Peters ► Keep on loving me – Lady Donli.
In this heartfelt and grounding conversation, Kat reconnects with her former professor, artist and printmaker Cheryl Agulnick Hochberg, to explore what it truly means to live a creative life—on your own terms. Cheryl shares how her work is shaped by place, walking, and deep observation—drawing inspiration from time spent in Wyoming, China, Finland, and her new home in Arizona. Together, they reflect on life after academia, the courage to start over, and the unexpected clarity that comes with experience, loss, and listening to the land. This episode is a balm for any artist feeling overwhelmed, out of place, or unsure of what comes next. It's a reminder that your work doesn't have to be impressive—it just has to be yours. In this episode, they discuss: Life after academia and what changed in higher education Making time for your art while raising a family or working full-time How Cheryl approaches residencies, place-based work, and listening Letting go of external pressure and creating from authenticity The real markers of a fulfilling creative life Advice for artists just beginning—or beginning again Cheryl Agulnick Hochberg Website: www.cherylagulnick.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherylhochberg ✨ Resources to Support Your Creative Path: Submit to Create!

Lauren and Rachael discuss the importance of managing expectations throughout the creative process and journey. As artists, we can't help but to dream big and plan accordingly; BUT leaving space for unexpected twists and turns can allow us to better enjoy the process and tap into our playfulness. There is so much to gain when we embrace the detours that often occur on the path to where we really want to be.
