Summary:
"
Women
artists
of the Harlem Renaissance dealt with issues that were unique to both their gender and their race. They experienced racial prejudice, which limited their ability to obtain training and to be taken seriously as working
artists
. They also encountered prevailing sexism, often an even more serious barrier. Including seventy-two
black
and white illustrations, this book chronicles the challenges of
women
artists
, who are in some cases unknown to the general public, and places their achievements in the artistic and cultural context of early twentieth-century America. Contributors to this first book on the
women
artists
of the Harlem Renaissance proclaim the legacy of Edmonia Lewis, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, Augusta Savage, Selma Burke, Elizabeth Prophet, Lois Maillou Jones, Elizabeth Catlett, and many other painters, sculptors, and printmakers. In a time of more rigid gender roles,
women
artists
faced the added struggle of raising families and attempting to gain support and encouragement from their often-reluctant spouses in order to pursue their art. They also confronted the challenge of convincing their fellow male
artists
that they, too, should be seen as important contributors to the artistic innovation of the era"--Provided by publisher.
