A zinger of a question posed for us...I love it Jen! A zinger of a question posed for us to ponder while we salivate at the thought of your warm bowl of just-baked apple crisp. I think down through human history there have been just as many female artists born as male artists, but it has been and remains a male-world. The constraints of our gender bind us to many roles (however strong and admirable) and have often required duty to be supportive (whether to children, family, community). We've only been allowed to vote for a hundred years. We need only look at the representation of women in male art, down through the ages, for clues as to why as a gender perhaps we've not been as successful at having the opportunity to pursue the life of an artist or been taken as seriously when expressing our view of life and culture. That we have to create a subcategory of art for "Women Artists" says we've still got a long way to go towards gender equality. Then again, not all great artists are famous, male or female. As the world shrinks and we are exposed to more world art, it's apparent that not all great artists are in the canon of art history we learned about at art school either. Your question makes me want to find an espresso machine, gather some comrades, and have a good lively natter. Pass the vanilla ice cream! <br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_suffrage<br />http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hi/hi_womarna.htmRuthhttp://lillliansnowgallery.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-18649765781892190042011-10-25T20:16:21.406-07:002011-10-25T20:16:21.406-07:00Yumm!!

Particularly loved your first and second capture. I really enjoyed listening to your words about Marie with her history and then about her art - 90 yrs old and with a sharp as a tack mind - what an amazing woman she must be. It's lovely that you've recognised her.Seeing Each Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469816981098332908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-45408071800831210122011-10-25T11:27:08.409-07:002011-10-25T11:27:08.409-07:00I love this post.

My favorite is the actual portrait of the artist. <br /><br />I have to admit that I was not aware that there were so few female artists. I feel as though in my life I have met many many more female artists than male artists but I wonder why male artists are going farther so far as having art shows and exhibits. This is something I will probably be thinking about for a while longer.Jessica Montehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883632864851759423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-59882466119997021412011-10-25T11:06:31.956-07:002011-10-25T11:06:31.956-07:00What a wonderful post!

Less self-serving? I suppose that sounds mean and sexist. I don't intend for it to sound that way. But, if you look at stats in every industry... women don't seem to fight as hard for recognition. And, that's not a bad thing at all. We know how to live happier, more well-balanced lives. I should shut up now before everyone gets mad at me for sounding judgmental...Kate/High Altitude Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690999267357525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-69164628603803736782011-10-25T07:42:46.592-07:002011-10-25T07:42:46.592-07:00I did not know all those stats... that is too sad!...I did not know all those stats... that is too sad!

I am especially fond of all pictures with snow in them for some strange reason because I really do not like the real stuff. LOL! So these pictures are just the thing I love looking at. Having a snappy mind at 90 is such a blessing. My Mom is 79 and her mind is getting so senile that sometimes it is painful to see.

I will be sure to pass your warm regards on the Marie.<br /><br />Desiree, I have visited Jeri Landers blog and think her work is wonderful. I am not familiar with the artwork of Ruby Reeves, but as I have an interest in fairy artwork, I will have to make a point of doing a little research to see if I can find some examples of her work. <br />As to my own artwork, I have a series of paintings in my head that I have been carrying around for years. Hopefully someday soon I will have enough time to bring some of it into fruition.<br /><br />Barbara, There is a good reason to visit the AGO in the next month or so. A Marc Chagall exhibit opens shortly and I am just dying to see it!<br /><br />Donna, I hoped that this post might invite a wide range of opinions. I have to thank you for taking the time to comment from the perspective of an artist and designer. There is so much to think about in what you have written.Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-39676656962646791032011-10-24T21:56:34.349-07:002011-10-24T21:56:34.349-07:00Happy Birthday Marie!

I went to college with many amazing women artists who were just as powerful with a paintbrush as the men in our classes. I like the way Marie uses paint...and her overall style in her compostions.

Very nice. I think women have a tougher time with art sales because they do it more out of love than business. I could not sell my work myself and had to place it in galleries. What I would sell it for was well below what they priced it at. Another thing too was all my work was signed with initials so my gender was anonymous. And why less woman artists? I think it has to do with how we interpret an image. Men are much more visual and it comes more easily I think. Men also have more varied emotions and dig deeper into those emotions than women. Women are emotional, but not always productively. Just my thoughts. O'Keeffe was always an inspiration to me. Being in a design field dominated by men (architecture), it was always something I observed about the difference in gender. I found designing between the sexes to work out the best, not leaving an imprint to have being a female designer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-11979765365360606912011-10-24T10:48:33.898-07:002011-10-24T10:48:33.898-07:00What a beautiful story this is Jennifer, and I tha...What a beautiful story this is Jennifer, and I thank you so much for sharing it today at The Creative Exchange.
