The dominant movement of the New York and San Francisco art scenes of the mid-20th century  Abstract Expressionism is celebrated as the first development in American art to gain international status. The movement is synonymous with the work of Jackson Pollock  Mark Rothko  and Willem de Kooning  but also belonging to this generation who changed the course of modern art were numerous female artists; only in recent years have their contributions received the recognition they deserve. The remarkable women in this exciting new book - among them Perle Fine  Helen Frankenthaler  Sonia Gechtoff  Lee Krasner  and Joan Mitchell - studied at the same art schools as the men  exhibited at the same galleries  and were part of the same social scene. But their work was not shown and reviewed as widely or considered as valuable as that of the men. This beautiful book presents the works of the Levett Collection  an unparalleled private collection of paintings  drawings  and sculpture by women Abstract Expressionists. Richly illustrated essays by the scholars Ellen G. Landau and Joan M. Marter  leading authorities on the subject  consider  respectively  the vital role of women in the development of Abstract Expressionism and the work of women sculptors of the movement. Full of exuberant  explosive color and densely layered expression  the main part of the book is devoted to more than 50 paintings  collages  and sculptures  all accompanied by pertinent quotes from the women about their artistic practice and concerns. An illustrated timeline and 35 artist biographies provide further insight  making this volume an essential addition to the study of Abstract Expressionist women  innovators in their own right  whose time in the art-historical spotlight has finally come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665882865717,"sku":"ByrdShop_1858947030","price":80.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781858947037.jpg?v=1782412421","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/abstract-expressionists-the-women-9781858947037","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
