This is why I support other female artists by sharing their work and generally letting others know about them

Women History Month is Stupid.

Katro Storm please check out my video on Augusta Savage - she faced horrible racism

@@arthistorygirl2327 I am definitely going to look this up right now Thanks for the scoop

True, although I think both minorities cross, like an intersection, a black woman has less privilege than a white one, but a white man has more privilege tha said two women, you know? Its sucks anyway...

@@arthistorygirl2327 the more you look into the history of black artists, the more you will find that they all have faced a battle with racism... whether it was systemic or just aesthetic. The world has been pretty tough on black artists.

Sorry didn’t realise that because of racism we shouldn’t discuss how destructive and prevalent sexism also is.

Change is slow, but things are changing. Shows like Joy Labinjo at the Frieze, Christina Quarles at the Hepworth Wakefield; curators like Lydia Yee at the Whitechapel Gallery. Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald painting the portraits of the Obamas. Wiley had a major exhibition in NYC recently. Change is happening and underrepresented people in the art world are being more recognised. But the sad fact is that the art world is very conservative and the shows follow the money.

Good point, also lack of disabled artists

Considering women in general are a small minority in the art world (10% of works in galleries, if I understood well), female artists in countries where they are also an ethnic minority are a *really* small group - I believe we should face this fact to change it.

❤️ Wow... Everyone know name like Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Salvador Dalí, Francisco Goya etc. but any women? No... And some is it by writers and in every way of our human world...

Jean McK I’ve made a video on Augusta Savage if fancy checking it out. She’s one of my faves too

My favorite is Frida Kahlo...

thanks for the tip!

Effie Pechlivani I absolutely LOVE faith ringgold - I’ve started making a women artist series on my KZfaq channel, think I’ll have to do one on her

Yes.

Wonderful, can we see ur art in some platforms? I am interested

I love Carrington.

Michelle Burgos please check out my women artist series

I’ll have to check her out - I’ve been making a female artist series on my KZfaq - please have a look

Let's just start with the female artists first. Women are the majority in the planet, so we need to be recognized and valorized.

@@quitaulla1569Are you a feminist ? who says that you need to be recognized and valorized ? whether man or woman regardless of grate number of females one must earn to be recognized on merit, not gender or numbers I don't think female artists are any less or singled out as artists per se, it would be easy to say that. It is like saying Mem are marginalized and less recognized than females because in department stores put women close up front and give 10 X more space and have more choices in clothing in the store and men are shoved in the back or in the corner of the store and fewer choices.

Black female artists were mostly in Africa! The asian one in asia. mHistory of art is thousands of years. Migration in quantity is a few hundred years. That's where the bipoc are, in bipoc land.

competition in art? there is no such thing....art is subjective and the beauty of it is in the eye of the beholder

@@rafaelavega4923 obviously you are not an artist to understand the art world,not even an art historian. It’s my opinion either you like it ir not. Do you have anything to offer besides smart comments? To many hours in isolation I suppose.!

@@mariapilarme i hit a nerve it seems...go take some fresh air this isolation makes you act like a lunatic

are you replying to @Bartholomew Smutz - Mr. " In the art world as well as everywhere else women should start doing for themselves instead of sitting back and waiting for men to do it for them." troll?? or something else - for many women through the centuries have indeed produced brilliant bodies of artworks which have been suppressed or denounced or banned from either doing art or exhibiting. I had replied to him: " Add Artemisia Gentileschi to the list of artist you should look up to become better informed. Women have not and do not "sit back' although I would suspect that is your thinly veiled attempt at trolling. For while the brutality of males who live in fear of loosing power results in events such as the many who have been killed since protests against the hijab laws and morality police erupted after Mahsa Amini's death Sept. 16th 2022 women continue to stand up. The more people included in being acknowledged as artists the greater the creative world becomes for all. In Canada women only legally became 'persons' October 18th 1929 (yes less than 100 years ago); while women only got the right to work most jobs in The United Stated with the "1965 Weeks v. Southern Bell, " legal decision (currently in many states the male dominated government has decided women can not make choices about their own bodies); in much of the world women seeking the legal right to "do for themselves" has meant dying for the cause from suffragettes to those who dared to study Mechanical Engineering and due to a scared boy-man died in the École Polytechnique massacre. - No man need do anything for women other than to get out of the way. "

Ugh.

Patronizing blaming women for lack of representation, or similarly black and indigenous people for for how they are treated by police shows a need for historical and contemporary research. While studies such as the Stanford Prison Experiment suggest (any randomized person) being in power can easily lead to abuse of power, where in western culture it has typically been white-males in this position until recently it is therefore less a 'self image' problem and more of a power imbalance which robs the world of the contributions of women, BIPOC, and 2SLGBTQI+ artists. As I earlier replied to @Bartholomew Smutz's troll comment of "In the art world as well as everywhere else women should start doing for themselves instead of sitting back and waiting for men to do it for them." by writing: "Add Artemisia Gentileschi to the list of artist you should look up to become better informed. Women have not and do not "sit back' although I would suspect that is your thinly veiled attempt at trolling. For while the brutality of males who live in fear of loosing power results in events such as the many who have been killed since protests against the hijab laws and morality police erupted after Mahsa Amini's death Sept. 16th 2022 women continue to stand up.

Be a woman and then we can have this conversation., Your way of thinking would be different.

@@quitaulla1569 my point exactly

The video complains that there are no female artists. You want a museum with only female artists. So you want an empty museum?

@@MrPaulTheG Educate yourself, there are many many many female artists.

@@quitaulla1569 It is not my argument, it is the video's argument. Instead on "educating", maybe you learn the basic of logic, critical thinking. I understand that blindly following the feminist mantra is reassuring but being a brainless sheep, however educated, is useless. Use your brain, we'll talk about my education when you know how to use it.

were those women middle aged? i feel many of these middle aged women are some times more misogynist than incels

Actually women are more creative. Men are more practical

I doubt they don’t succeed because of men, though depending on the period, the task wasn’t easy. Great female artists were suppressed from the narrative to future generations because no one wrote about them even when they were great during their time. There is a really extensive list, but I’ll leave you with 2 names to explore Sofonisba Anguissola and Lavinia Fontana. They achieved accolades and recognition during their time. They later weren’t mentioned in texts.

@@ApiaArt I think a certain amount of obsessiveness can often lead to greater creativity and perhaps this trait is more common in men than women? Just a personal theory.

@Alice Amell In the art world as well as everywhere else women should start doing for themselves instead of sitting back and waiting for men to do it for them.

@@BartholomewSmutz if we're resorting to "personal theories", mine is that obsessiveness, passion and hyperfocus on something other than motherhood or your duties is kinda seen as negative for women back in the day and even today. Like c'mon even now if we speak a bit louder than usual we're hystericals and men are just "firm, strong". And this isn't a psychological analysis, it is a sociological one, of how people perceive men and women. Even though demands change over time, now late stage capitalism really undermine the value of artists (hence parents not allowing kids to be anything other than doctors or engineers), so for both genders it is tough to be an artist nowadays. But treatment was and still is unequal for women, period, and psychological analysis regarding all the female gender are usually not objective (they aren't naturally less obsessive than men, or anything like that, especially considering how western women context is different than poc women, latinas, asian women etc.). Not saying that male artists didn't struggle, not at all, the "hungry artist" stereotype comes from somewhere. But subjective analyses on a whole gender shouldn't justify prejudice. "Not all men, not all women" etc etc

Also I always found it weird that so many literary pieces described women as knowing how to play the piano (meaning this was fairly common back in the day), and yet we don't see a lot of "great" female pianists. Is it because they weren't fit for it? But who says who is fit and who is not? I cannot believe that all those women that could play piano were absolutely terrible musicians, otherwise this wouldn't be praised. It had a function, though: to teach your daughter the bare minimum to get a good husband, and that's all. The education stopped when you married, it was just enough for you not to be seen as a total idiot. This is very limiting since piano is a very hard instrument to domain, and again, it is not because of natural changes in brain, because women can and they do play the piano in concerts, orchestras, everywhere. We listen to female pianists today when we tune for some classical music on Spotify, and they play beautifully. About opera, though, I think the answer is very simple: female vocal chords are thinner so it is easier to achieve a high vocal range. Not really a big deal there, no "drive", no "talent", just biology, I think.
