hi this is Anita from five minutes with
0:10
art many times when we talk about great
0:13
artists especially artists that lived
0:15
many years ago most of them are male but
0:18
today I want to talk about some female
0:20
artist and in fact these female artists
0:23
are some of my favorite artists we
0:25
cannot talk about great female artists
0:28
without talking about an artist as
0:31
artamis galinsky who was a broke painter
0:37
1600s and she was known to make some
0:40
very very intricate Arts works of art
0:43
which considered some of the greatest
0:44
works that ever lived her Works often
0:47
depicted women powerful women in
0:49
historic biblical scenes she challenged
0:52
lot the gender roles and portraying
0:54
women as assertive and heroic this was
0:58
very very unusual for her time so This
1:00
truly made her one of the great women
1:03
artists who ever lived another one of
1:06
course is Freda callow and Fredo callow
1:11
1900s she's probably best known because
1:13
of the fact that she suffered in a bike
1:16
accident had a lot of deep pain she had
1:19
a lot of deep physical pain and because
1:22
of that this showed in a lot of her
1:24
artwork she did a lot of self-portraits
1:27
where she depicted her struggles and her
1:31
expectations and even things that had to
1:34
do with political activism her work
1:37
really challenged the representation of
1:39
beauty and Womanhood so she of course
1:42
would I have to be one of the top female
1:44
artists also Georgio Keef would be
1:47
another one she actually lived again
1:52
1986 I really love Georgio Keef's work
1:55
of art I love her large scale close-up
1:57
paintings of flowers and Landscapes and
2:00
how she captured nature and especially
2:03
nature in in New Mexico and you know she
2:07
she really played this crucial role for
2:09
American modernism she you know
2:12
challenged conventions with her Unique
2:14
Style and her pioneering of abstraction
2:17
and natural forms another artist who may
2:20
not be as well known as some of the art
2:22
other artists is Louise
2:27
Bourgeois is widely regarded as one of
2:30
the most influential sculptures of the
2:32
20th century her work often in was
2:37
experiences and um you know other types
2:40
of like psychological themes she
2:43
explored trauma memory and female
2:46
experience she's best known for a
2:48
massive spider sculptures which
2:50
represent maternal protection and
2:52
vulnerability she really had a great
2:55
impact on Modern sculpture and feminist
2:57
art Cindy Sherman who was born in
3:00
1954 is also another woman who had a
3:04
great impact on Art she revolutionized
3:07
photography with her conceptual
3:09
self-portraits which explored identity
3:12
gender roles and and societal
3:14
expectations her Untitled film still
3:17
Series in which she transformed into
3:19
different female archae types questioned
3:22
how women are portrayed in media and
3:24
culture so this is someone who really
3:26
you know really stepped outside of
3:28
herself and really in the photography
3:31
realm another artist that um is well
3:34
known as Marina aronovich and she has
3:38
her famous work of art as the artist is
3:40
present and she was a Pioneer in
3:42
performance art she pushed the
3:45
boundaries of endurance body art and
3:47
human connection your performance often
3:50
involved physical and emotional extremes
3:52
exploring pain vulnerabilities and human
3:55
resilience themes so she's also known to
3:58
be as a groundbreaker artist another
4:01
artist is Elizabeth Vil La Brun and she
4:04
was born in 1755 and lived until
4:07
1842 as she was one one of the most
4:10
sought after portrait painters of her
4:12
time she was known for her elegant
4:14
depictions of aristocrats including
4:17
Queen Marie Antonette and in an era
4:20
where women were largely excluded from
4:22
the art world she defined conventions
4:25
and gained International recognition it
4:27
was really her work that helped open
4:29
doors for other female artists in this
4:32
same type of field of doing portraits
4:35
Barbara cougar who was born in
4:38
1945 is well known for a bold text-based
4:41
conceptual art that critiques
4:43
consumerism gender norms and power
4:46
structures her striking black and white
4:49
images overlaid with red and white text
4:51
challenge viewers to question social and
4:54
political issues her work has been
4:57
instrumental in feminist art movement
4:59
and as a powerful force in contemporary
5:01
activism so these are just 10 of the
5:04
women that I you happen like some of my
