The Most Famous & Iconic Female Painters In The World And Their Masterpieces

In 1971, American art historian Linda Nochlin published her essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?”. It focused on the institutional obstacles that had prevented women in the west from becoming successful artists. Linda’s essay came to be regarded as a pioneering essay for both feminist art history and feminist art theory, and it initiated a search for prominent women artists in history. Among the best known early female artists is Artemisia Gentileschi, who is now regarded as one of the great artists of the Baroque period. The 19th century first saw the emergence of several leading women artists in the west. These included Rosa Bonheur and Mary Cassatt, who became prominent painters of the art movements Realism and Impressionism respectively. Some of the most renowned and influential artists of the 20th century were females, and painters like Georgia O’Keeffe and Frida Kahlo were instrumental in altering the gender balance in the art world.
