- With toxic masculinity infecting everything from politics to popular culture, one young art historian is pushing back. Katy Hessel first made a mark with her Instagram account, Great Women Artists, which celebrates women overlooked by the art world’s patriarchy. In her new book, "The Story of Art Without Men," Hessel goes into the history of women achieving artistic excellence against colossal odds. Christiane speaks with Hessel, at an exhibition she curated in London, about the role of women in the history of art.
Originally aired on October 4, 2022.

My UA-cam namesake was a female dadaist whose work was credited to Marcel Duchamp. She inspired many men who didn't acknowledge her.
I'm reminded of Artemisia Gentileschi, and all she had to endure, and what a fantastic artist she was.
What an inspiring, stunning & captivating young woman! Her passion and energy is contagious. I loved this interview and how through her intellectual curiosity she brought this issue to the forefront for us all! Bravo to her. Hope to see more of her in the future!🤩🤩🤩
Katy has done more for the advancement of art history than any other historian in the history of art history! I LOVE her enthusiasm!

There is a free eBook with men and WOMEN artists. Artists of Old Florida eBook by Fred Frankel, who was an ER doctor. Florence Seymour is included. She studied in California and in New York.
I didn’t know of Anna Maria della Pietá, and all those women composers and musicians from the time of Vivaldi. They were written off from history too. Or have you learned of the female physicians in the XI century like Trota of Salerno?
Every time I see pictures of top abstract artists and it's a big line of white men, and I think that Hilma af Klint punked every single one of them by decades -- and made art that blows them all out of the water -- it infuriates me.
The art historian who talks more about women rather than of art itself.
part of the history of art is the artist so yes. She would talk about under appreciate artists to raise awareness. people like you complain about the same things you do. Here you are, complaining about a woman who is being positive and not bringing down anyone. talking about women is important bc nobody in art history does. if you dont like that maybe you should read the book :)
Women have not been left out of the art world. They have been the model for tens of thousands of artworks beginning with the Venus of Wittendorf.
As objects. Usually nude while males are clothed
I thought women only join those classes to find a soul mate.
I think before any conclusion is to be made, the number of male and female artists need to be equal before the assumption that female artists were written out of art history. This is such a bias debate. There simply wasn't that many female artists that existed. And the museums chose the best from the past to display. That naturally eliminates 99% of all artists, both male and female. There were also so many male artists that were never mentioned too. Bias, and skewed!!
Did you listen to what she said? And, are you an art historian?
@@greatedges I have both an undergraduate and masters in Art History.
@@CooperJeanne That's obviously a lie.
