Thankful Thursday - Women Artists
 |
| "I Will Be With You" by Mayumi Oda |
I am so moved by this movie and the artists to build their lives around their art and family. I learned that part of it will be placed on PBS in May and here's a link to their blog with the dates and channels.
So today I'm thankful for women who are creating. Who are trying to balance their art and their family. Who are trying to balance their art and their job. Who are trying balance.
Some artists I know, like or think you might enjoy---
*Please feel free to leave the name(s) of your favorite women artists in the comment section. I'd love to have a large list of inspiring women here to refer to...
Here's my short & incomplete list--

Thank you to all the creative women in the world.
Off the top of my head:
ReplyDeleteKathe Kollwitz (should be an umlaut over the "a" in her first name)
Frida Kahlo
Georgia O'Keeffe
Berthe Morisot
Tamara de Lempicka
Varvara Stepanova
Tecla
Sue Coe
The above all do (or do primarily) paintings, drawings, engravings, and similar work.
Some women photographers whose work I like include:
Dorothea Lange
Tina Modotti
Imogen Cunningham
Graciela Iturbide
Lee Miller
Poet Gina Franco has also been doing photography quite actively for several years, and has a Shutterchance photo blog online. I think she also has a Flickr photo page.
Apart from the above, the website of the Lilith Gallery of Toronto includes a large section devoted to women artists.
Lyle,
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Thanks for adding to mine.
