Abstract (English)

"The primary purpose of this collection of conversations is to furnish, in their own words, an insight into the aesthetic achievements of the some of the foremost artists of the twentieth century who happen to be women. In some cases (Delaunay’s, Neel’s and Krasner’s), they are still not given the respect they deserve. It must no longer be possible for an art historian or critic to ignore the contributions of women artists and to perpetuate the inequity of keeping them separate, isolated, unable to compete and take laurels among male Art Talk: Conversations with 15 Women Artists by Cindy Nemser peers. In the past, women of distinction were looked on as a strange series of accidents, oddities, freaks, exceptions. By bringing the outstanding women artists of our century together in one book, I believe it will become clear that the highest accomplishment, greatness, in female artists is a rule rather than an exception." -- Author's website.
