As you can see, the art produced by the women of the Victorian Age is the equal of the art produced by the men. The number of paintings may be smaller, but that is no indication of talent or skill. The art is beautiful and transcends the gender of the artist. And that is as it should be, don't you think?

These are a small sampling of the vast body of Art by women in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. As recommended on an earlier post, check ARC or CGFA for more information and some beautiful images!

If that's not enough, take a look at what Laura has to say at the Wide Awake Cafe: "The Art World Is A Joke". Seems the Art World continues to mistake everything in the world for Art. Idiots!

I have no patience for the so-called art of today.

Once again, you have posted beautiful pictures here. Food for the soul!

These are great paintings but I can't help but wonder. We know that some of the famous Victorian writers were women who wrote under male pseudonyms (ie Geore Eliott), and I kind of wonder if some female painters didn't do the same and some of the victorian art that is assumed masculine is nto.
