Women Artists in Their Own Words

Intro. Jennifer Samet

Art is a language beyond words – and for women artists, it has long been a way to comment, dream and demand to be seen. But that does not make the written and spoken words of these women any less eloquent and insightful. Women Artists in Their Own Words is a rich and inspiring collection of quotations from female artists from Impressionism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism to the present day. Here, the thoughts of 95 painters, sculptors and photographers offer glimpses into the hearts and minds behind provocative, dynamic and captivating art from the last 150 years. Alongside the words of each artist is one of her iconic works in the remarkable collection of Christian Levett, founder of FAMM, the museum devoted solely to women.
