The Evolution of the Role of the Female Artist in Society: The Renaissance to the Present Day

Abstract

This contribution analyses the evolution of the role of the female artist in medieval, renaissance, modern and contemporary society through important case studies represented by illustrious personalities such as Properzia de’ Rossi, Artemisia Gentileschi, Plautilla Bricci, Frida Kahlo, the Guerrilla Girls, Tracy Emin, Marina Abramović and Chiara Fumai. Experiences that make it possible to reflect on being a female artist, the themes, the relationship with the art market and the public, and the discontinuous evolution along the line of time in the perception of the figure of the female artist.
