Explore the lives and achievements of the art world's most influential women through this captivating series for young readers. Learn how these pioneering artists transformed their vision into lasting cultural impact. An ideal gift for young creatives and art enthusiasts.
Over half of all the visual artists working today are women, but the paintings and sculptures shown in many galleries and museums tell a different story because they're usually the work of men.
Author Kate Pankhurst, descendent of Emmeline Pankhurst, tells the fascinating stories of some of history's most talented female artists. Express your feelings and find your identity through art with Frida Kahlo. Run away to the circus and paint with Laura Knight. Help bring talented artists into the spotlight with Peggy Guggenheim. Challenge racism and segregation by creating powerful art with Faith Ringgold.
We all have the power to paint our own stories. And the fantastically great women artists in this book showed that women have pretty fascinating ones to tell. Be inspired by their vivid imaginations and fearless ambition. You can change the world too.
Including comic strips, family trees, maps and more, Fantastically Great Women Artists and Their Stories is a celebration of just some of the women whose creativity and dreams have made a mark on the world. A fantastic gift for girls and boys alike!
List of women featured: Amrita Sher-Gil, Elisabeth Le Brun, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Faith Ringgold, Frida Kahlo, Kathe Kollwitz, Dame Laura Knight and Peggy Guggenheim.
