THE COLORS OF Women ARTISTS: Rediscovering Great in Art History

Art history rarely tells the whole story. For centuries, women artists have been erased, minimized, or reduced to muses. The Colors of Women Artists restores them to the center of the canvas through an original and surprising lens: color. Architect, teacher, and art lover Elisabetta Macciò leads readers on a journey through ten colors-red, yellow, blue, light blue, green, orange, purple, white, black, and brown-each associated with powerful works by women across centuries and continents. From Marina Abramovi¿'s blazing red performance at MoMA to Artemisia Gentileschi's fierce biblical heroines, from Plautilla Nelli's monumental Last Supper to Yayoi Kusama's hypnotic yellow pumpkins, from Hilma af Klint's visionary abstractions to Berthe Morisot's shimmering blues, this book reveals a vibrant, alternative history of art. Blending biography, storytelling, and accessible art analysis, Macciò shows how these women challenged prejudice, reinvented visual language, and transformed pain, joy, and resistance into color. Perfect for art lovers, students, educators, and anyone curious about what's been missing from the museum walls, The Colors of Women Artists invites us to see the full spectrum of art-at last including all of its protagonists.
