Book excerpt: A re-presentation of women artists whose works were widely exhibited and regularly featured in the French art press and in modern art surveys from 1900 to the 1920s, but who largely disappeared from public view after World War II. The analysis of their work unravels the cultural, aesthetic, and economic reasons for their absence, particularly the issue of "feminine" and "masculine" categories in art. The artists featured include: Emilie Charmy, Jacqueline Marval, Maria Blanchard, Alice Halicka, Marevna, Alice Bailly, Marie Vassiliev, Suzanne Roger, and Mela Muter. The text includes fine color reproductions, bibliographic appendices, and an excerpt from Marevna's writings. Distributed by St. Martin's Press.
