Review: The Story of Art Without Men – Katy Hessel (Hutchinson Heinemann)
Have you heard of Surrealist photographer Lee Miller? Or the highly political
Dada photo-montagist Hannah Höch? 19th-century sculptor Edmonia Lewis achieved
fame and recognition in her lifetime, as did 20th-century sculptor Barbara
Hepworth, but none of these women artists have achieved “household name”
status, akin to Dali or Duchamp or Henry Moore. That is not, however, because
they are not as important, pioneering, or ground-breaking.
Katy Hessel’s ambition to plot, position, celebrate and chronologise women’s
too-often-forgotten contributions to art is impressive and overdue.
The Story
of Art Without Men is encyclopaedic in both breadth and intention."
