This volume, ‘Eminent Women Artists’, contains brief life sketches, contributions and achievements of 90 leading women artists mostly belonging to America and European countries. In the history of art, the women artists had to struggle hard at a time when in the Medieval and Renaissance period art had been the exclusive domain of men. Women were not encouraged in this field. Though basically female mind had always been imaginative, artistic and creative. There are many references that the womenfolk of the primitive days painted various art objects during festivities known as folk art which has a pretty long tradition. Art is creation of both men and women’s imaginative mind. The superstitions, rituals, customs and beliefs have encouraged the women to creative production. Early art, from cave art drawings to folk art is manifestation of emotions influenced by natural surroundings and nature worship. In the stone age civilization, woman perfected herself to primitive folk art. The sense of art no doubt, is materialized expression of man and woman’s delight in beauty. This publication will certainly be welcomed by the art lovers, general readers and specially by those interested in knowing the artistic genius of the women artists.
