Thread: During 2018 I shared a number of artists whose place in the history of Western art has been overlooked. Many of these have been women & minorities. Let’s look at the great female artists. Pictures by Georgia O’Keefe, Paula Rego & Artemisia Gentileschi. 
Käthe Kollwitz is one of my favourite artists & a giant of European art:
Georgia O’Keefe:
Alice Neel:
Artemisia Gentileschi:
Lavinia Fontana:
Berthe Morisot:
Frida Kahlo is unusual in being well known:
Judith Leyster:
Suzanne Valadon:
Anna Ancher:
Marie Krøyer:
Helene Schjerfbeck:
Mary Swanzy:
Norah McGuinness:
Paula Rego:
Gwen John:
Bridget Riley:
Dorothea Tanning:
Gabriele Münter:
Elizabeth Blackadder:
Anne Redpath:
Eileen Grey:
Natalia Goncharova:
So next time someone tells you there are no great female painters tell them to open their eyes! Münter, Kollwitz, Rego, Schjerfbeck, Krøyer, Gentileschi & O’Keefe are amongst the greatest painters of Western Art. Pictures by Gentileschi, Schjerfbeck, Kollwitz & Münter.
