Résumé : A View of One’s Own présente dix artistes britanniques femmes, travaillant entre
1760 et 1860. Malgré leurs efforts à tenter d’obtenir une reconnaissance durant
leur vivant, leur art est resté en grande partie méconnu et leurs œuvres n’ont,
pour la plupart, pas été publiées. Ce précieux catalogue a pour but de réparer cette
injustice en présentant un splendide ensemble de paysages dans différents médias.
Le catalogue est publié à l’occasion d’une exposition à la Courtauld Gallery de
Londres.
When the Royal Academy was founded in 1768, its members included two
women, yet there would not be another female academician until Dame Laura
Knight was elected in 1936. Despite this institutional exclusion, women artists in
Britain continued to train, practice, and exhibit during this period, particularly in
the field of landscape watercolours.
A View of One’s Own accompanies an exhibition of landscape drawings and
watercolours by a group of inspiring British women artists working both in Britain
and abroad between 1760 and 1860. Featured artists include Harriet Lister and Lady
Mary Lowther, who were among the first to depict the Lake District, and Amelia
Long, Lady Farnborough, one of the first British artists to travel to France following
the Napoleonic Wars. It sheds new light on artists who achieved recognition during
their lifetimes as well as on those whose work is ripe for rediscovery.
Artists included: Harriet Lister; Mary Lowther; Mary Mitford; Elizabeth Susan
Percy; Mary Smirke; Eliza Gore; Fanny Blake; Amelia Long; Elizabeth Batty;
