HEPWORTH

14. According to Ann Sutherland Harris
and Linda Nochlin, in “Women artists”,
there have always been women who
are artists, but they were invisible for
the history books.
It is a fact that some female artists
adopted male names and some
others just used her initials in order
to get their work recognized by the
world of art. Nowadays this
invisibility persists in our society.
Could you name five women
artists? How many men artists
can you name? Do you think
this great difference is directly
proportional to the importance
of women in art? What can we
deduce from this fact?
No doubt school reflects society, and the lack of references to
women artist in early education is notable, but society also
reflects school, and that is why introducing women artist
through the Visual and Plastic Expression subject gives the
opportunity of breaking this loop.
