The Obstacle Race

Více o knize

If men and women are equally capable of genius, why have there been no female artists of the stature of Leonardo, Titian, or Poussin? Germaine Greer presents significant yet underrated figures in the history of Western painting – Angelica Kauffmann, Natalia Goncharova, Suzanne Valadon, Berthe Morisot, Käthe Kollwitz – and provides a brilliantly insightful and richly illustrated study. She explains the obstacles as both external, surmountable, and internal, insurmountable in the pursuit of success.
