Read More Australia is without Doubt the Habitat of the Giant Strawberry. Female Artists — Themes in Art. It should be obvious to say that women and art by women have been systematically overlooked and minimized in their own time, and often lost and forgotten by recorded history.
For generations, the household names in art history have been male. Despite this, every single era and art movement has been shaped by the women who persevered against patriarchal bias to bring their individual perspective to art, innovate mediums, record their lives and challenge society's understanding of gender. Trivium is working to amass a diverse, global library of female artists, from history's favorites like Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe to the medieval polymaths Hildegard von Bingen and Herrad of Landsburg, and the self-taught masters Chaïbia Talal and Baya Mahieddine.

The drip paintings of the abstract expressionist painter Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) are among the best-known paintings of the 20th century.
When Pollock moved from easel painting to dripping or pouring paint onto a piece of canvas spread on the floor, he was able to get long, continuous lines impossible to achieve by applying paint to a canvas with a brush. For this technique, he needed a paint with a fluid viscosity (one that would pour smoothly). For this, he turned to the new synthetic resin-based paints on the market (generally called "gloss enamel"), made for industrial purposes such as spray-painting cars or household interior decorating. He would continue using gloss enamel paint until his death. Why Gloss Enamel Paint? In America, synthetic paints were already replacing traditional, oil-based house paints in the 1930s (in Britain this wouldn’t happen until the end of the 1950s).

The Life and Art of John Singer Sargent. John Singer Sargent (January 12, 1856 - April 14, 1925) was the leading portrait painter of his era, known for representing the elegance and extravagance of the Gilded Age as well the unique character of his subjects.
He was also facile in landscape painting and watercolors and painted ambitious and highly-regarded murals for several significant buildings in Boston and Cambridge — the Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Public Library, and Harvard's Widener Library. Sargent was born in Italy to American expatriates, and lived a cosmopolitan life, equally respected in both the United States and Europe for his prodigious artistic skill and talent. Although American, he didn't visit the United States until he was 21 and therefore never felt completely American. Nor did he feel English or European, which gave him an objectivity that he used to his advantage in his art. Family and Early Life Sargent was a descendant of the earliest American colonialists. Early Career. Berthe Morisot Bio - French Impressionist Painter. Movement, Style, Type or School of Art: Impressionism Date and Place of Birth: January 14, 1841, Bourges, Cher, France Life: Berthe Morisot led a double life.
