Of the 550 entries, less than ten are female. For example, it has Orazio Gentileschi but not his daughter Artemisia, who gained so much prominence in the intervening years. Missing are Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, countless others. Having several books devoted solely to women's history is necessary to compensate. Any single compilation will have a bias.Laraine Armentihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939199509459633075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-69480516075581800342009-01-15T14:39:00.000+00:002009-01-15T14:39:00.000+00:00Hi Katherine,I do need one!

I will check both of these out and then probably order one from Amazon. <BR/><BR/>What I am finding is that the more I study and read -the more I need to do additional studying. My teacher (Robert Liberace) constantly mentions different renaissance artist such as Sarto, Tiepolo and others. On a recent trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC I finally saw several Sartos and now I understand. <BR/><BR/>A frustration for me is that the more I have been reading the more I realize I need to know/learn. At times wish I had studied art history in college; there is simply so much information out there, that at times I feel -very backwards and uneducated.<BR/><BR/>Have a great one!<BR/>CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
