What to expect
Historically, major women artists have been excluded from the mainstream art canon. Aligned with the resurgence of feminism in pop culture, Broad Strokes offers an entertaining corrective to that omission. Art historian Bridget Quinn delves into the lives and careers of fifteen brilliant female artists in this smart, feisty, educational, and enjoyable book.
Replete with beautiful reproductions of the artists’ works and contemporary portraits of each artist by renowned illustrator Lisa Congdon, this is art history from 1600 to the present day for the modern art lover, reader, and feminist.
Critics Review
“Your Art History 101 syllabus just got a lot more fun.”
“A terrific essay collection with quick and pithy profiles of famous and not-famous women artists…Spunky, attitudinal, smart writing, excellent color reproductions.”
“Can you name five women artists? That question, which launched a recent social media campaign, receives a beautiful answer in art historian Quinn and illustrator-writer Congdon’s accessible and intimate tour of fifteen female artists from the seventeenth century to the present.”
“In her entertaining and accessible debut, Quinn mixes biography, art history, and women’s studies…Quinn skillfully examines the lives of an eclectic group of artists and the treatment of their work over time, mixing in comments from art historians and her own personal anecdotes…The color reproductions add to this book’s appeal, giving readers a chance to appreciate the artists’ work as well as Quinn’s upbeat writing.”
