This course will provide an historical survey of the contributions of women in the visual arts in (primarily) Western Europe and the U.S., from antiquity to the present. Beyond examining the works of art they created, we will also consider the societal obstacles women faced in daring to become professional artists, thus gaining a broader perspective on the status of women over time. Close reading of primary source materials (in translation) will further reveal how these exceptional women were viewed by their contemporaries, as well as how they perceived themselves. We will also consider the visual representation of women throughout history, and art’s reflection of cultural values.
