One of my classes last week spent the entire latter half of the session just talking about Lee Miller, and she really is a fascinating person. Apparently her son has been trying to get a script about her life greenlit for years and I really hope such a film is made one day.
Wow! Thanks so much, this is eye opening. I thought women never did paint considering there's no mention of them in history. I thought they were probably never allowed to.
"...no mention of them in history". There has been mention of female artists in history from Sappho to Abramovich. Instead of admitting your surprise at discovering women in art, why don't you admit you know nothing of art history.
Peter Hackett Wow why do do you have to be so rude? Who spit in your cheerios? I never claimed to be an art historian, but yes I do know some art history. We've all heard of Michelangelo, DaVinci, Raphael, Botticelli, Durer, Bellini, Caravaggio, but sorry never heard of female artists of the time.
wow... that woman's exhibition that got shut down because of the way she portrayed one man.... it's so ridiculous and just shows these double standards that have been happening for such a long time. Women get portrayed like that all of the time, they are always either oversexualized or told to be good and not sexual. A man gets portrayed in a sexual way ONCE and all hell breaks loose.
I love Jemima Kirke and the role she plays on the T.V. series "Girls". But what I love most is that she has taken part in a very real subject as women and art. I am working on a MFA and I can not agree more with this topic. As for the racists/trolls that have their comment below; we need to find a way to creatively paint them out of the picture and move on to a brighter future with women and the arts.
Yesss, The ongoing Work of Women Artists as We are still being unconvered discovered rediscovered reincluded re-evaluated re-envisioned and on it goes~good Work. 🦋💎🦋
Interesting and enlightening. I always assumed that the vast majority of artists were women, now I know that most galleries instead feature men. Next time i visit a gallery I'll keep an eye out. Nice video, keep up the good work.
wowowo nice, The broken window remains a mystery, but the couple seen in the distance could symbolize the artist desire for fulfilling both a private and public life at an age when women struggled to pursue an artistic profession!!!!
saw this immediately after reading an article on wendy davis and all the sexist poo-slinging intended to undercut her campaign... it's 2014! This was so nicely done, but frankly, I'm sad that it's still necessary to be having this conversation.
The role of women in art history has often been marginalized, but their contributions are indispensable. As we strive for equality, let us not forget that true progress in art is marked by the inclusion of all voices.
+Fallingslowly21 I think women of color should not be called "women of color" when during a debate about WOMEN and MEN. The women includes ALL women, tall, short, black, white, ginger, brunette, Asian, ALL women throughout history. STOP picking out " women of color" out of the women cathegory. Urgh
+Katalin Bohdán that would be fine had they mentioned women of colour artists in the film, but they didn't, and they could and should have because there have been so many original, influential and talented women of colour in the arts. It's ridiculous to say that it's wrong to divide women in defence of this film, when that's exactly what the film itself does. Jemima says something about women being marginalised, but this film has marginalised women of other races.
Women need to stop drawing nudes, and demand respect. Start buying real art by women that don't need to sell their soul to make it in the Art Industry. Men want women to draw nudes, don't fall for the trap. And remember the Human Trafficking problem is a pandemic; therefore, we need to paint more innocently and stop feeding this sick market.
+lido pimienta true, non-white people are almost completely absent from art history, so to be a woman AND poc you have almost zero chances of making the cut. I think this is starting to change though, hopefully. But tbh white women aren't represented either so we're kind of all in the same boat here.
Claude Cahun actually didn't identify as female- while Cahun used the feminine pronoun 'elle' in French, she described her gender as 'fluid' or 'neuter'. So while she may have been assigned female at birth, her adoption of a masculine name and presentation was not in order to masquerade as a man to gain artistic success, but as a part of her personal identity, and challenging gender norms as a part of her artistic practice!
This is a good start, but can't help to notice that if and when women will be more included in museum shows, it will obviously start by including white women from the USA/UK, like Jemima Kirke. Nothing against her, I think she's a great artist/painter... but did you really need a white woman to say all of this, Tate?
White women face oppression too. Women of color absolutely deserve a voice in these matters but to disregard a woman because she's white is racist and wrong.
This doesn't seem like it's the biggest problem that anyone anywhere is facing. I'm sorry it's just you are fighting for women's artistic roles throughout history while there are still women who aren't allowed to drive, vote and live independently.
"it's always men who write the history books" So are you saying women can't write history, or never have? How can men be responsible solely for one thing but not another? Isn't this selective and inductive reasoning?
I can't believe I just came across this. this is incredible.
One of my classes last week spent the entire latter half of the session just talking about Lee Miller, and she really is a fascinating person. Apparently her son has been trying to get a script about her life greenlit for years and I really hope such a film is made one day.
More on this topic, please, Tate!
I just wanted to say I like this Unlock Art series.

" ...why do you have to be so rude"? Is that a serious question? Why do you have to be so ignorant?

Peter Hackett what're YOU doing here if you know everything about everything? :|
This video helped me soooo much making my very big assignment about women artists!! Thank you so much!

+Jina Lives We have another film with Margaret Harrison talking more about her work: th-cam.com/video/naaRn_COzhU/w-d-xo.html
Check out Tonia Antoniazzi MPs video on Gender. 2022 and in today's world Women still have zero rights.
just wish she is my art history teacher
I am late to this video by 9 years - but the content still stands.
what an excellent video. thank you
3:41 Hugh Bunny as he hops around and weasels, not missed by anyone
I love Jemima Kirke and the role she plays on the T.V. series "Girls". But what I love most is that she has taken part in a very real subject as women and art.

Incredible!

🦋💎🦋
loved it! hope you have more!
Is there anyway to find out some of the artist's the video was showing? The performances in particular looked really interesting!
Great series of videos. Thank you
Interesting and enlightening. I always assumed that the vast majority of artists were women, now I know that most galleries instead feature men. Next time i visit a gallery I'll keep an eye out. Nice video, keep up the good work.
the times have changed fast
wowowo nice, The broken window remains a mystery, but the couple seen in the distance could symbolize the artist desire for fulfilling both a private and public life at an age when women struggled to pursue an artistic profession!!!!
Great video
NOW, let's do SOMETHING about it!!!!
Great job on this vid. Thank you.
Fantástico, y tremendamente didáctico!
amazing video!
keep the great videos coming! awesome
saw this immediately after reading an article on wendy davis and all the sexist poo-slinging intended to undercut her campaign... it's 2014! This was so nicely done, but frankly, I'm sad that it's still necessary to be having this conversation.
Right here.
i always respect wamen
well done. I enjoyed this and particularly enjoyed the inclusion of Margaret Harrison
glad those strictures are breaking down cuz we get better art
who is the artist who took the picture of the person with socks and boots tied behind their feet?? i love it
At 2:05, does anyone know the name of the Book that is shown?
The role of women in art history has often been marginalized, but their contributions are indispensable. As we strive for equality, let us not forget that true progress in art is marked by the inclusion of all voices.
Is there a list of the pieces shown right at the end - the one with Sarah Lucas in the mix?
I wonder if it is Natalie Dessay on 5:09??? Where I can find this video art piece with her participation?
louise bordone The work is 'Take Care of Yourself' by Sophie Calle - here she is talking about the piece:

Tate Thanks a lot!

Does anyone know the name of the artist at 4:50???
paula rego
Spelt Paula Rego.
I like Tina Modotti.
Nails
Me have always been asses, and it's sad to put a male name so it doesnt get ignored
you can check out the female Artist Mush-ula on redbubble
www.redbubble.com/people/Mush-ula/shop?asc=u
No Louise Bourgeois?
what about yayoi kusama?
woc?
This is cool and all, but where are the artists who are women of color?
it's not just the fact that the art world is a male dominated field but it's horribly eurocentric...
fabfashionista13 History in general was pretty much Eurocentric when I went to school, I thought they were working to improve that.

you sound like someone who thinks reverse racism is real
I watched the video but still don't know where all the great women artists are. 😂😂

"where are the white women artists"
there, I fixed it for ya!
+lido pimienta true, non-white people are almost completely absent from art history, so to be a woman AND poc you have almost zero chances of making the cut.

ART is what BOYS do. CRAFT is what GIRLS do..........................................;-)
10% Eh? Ya that sounds about right. In a lot of jobs, women only make up around 10-15%, not just painting.
This is a good start, but can't help to notice that if and when women will be more included in museum shows, it will obviously start by including white women from the USA/UK, like Jemima Kirke. Nothing against her, I think she's a great artist/painter... but did you really need a white woman to say all of this, Tate?
White women face oppression too. Women of color absolutely deserve a voice in these matters but to disregard a woman because she's white is racist and wrong.
Oh thank you, I wondered what was screwing up modern art !
Stop it
This doesn't seem like it's the biggest problem that anyone anywhere is facing. I'm sorry it's just you are fighting for women's artistic roles throughout history while there are still women who aren't allowed to drive, vote and live independently.
This is about Art, however. There are other battles going on- try another page, and help us bring positive change to the world- in any form.
...:) I GUARANTEE the ideas for The Ark of the Covenant, Ancient Egyptian Art ETC...came from the mind of a woman to a man :)
"it's always men who write the history books"
So are you saying women can't write history, or never have? How can men be responsible solely for one thing but not another?
Isn't this selective and inductive reasoning?
The ratio of female to male in art history is a reflection of excellence not gender discrimination.
It is a ratio of power not of excellence :-)
Eh, sorry but contemporary art is def proving that wrong.
