Artemisia Gentileschi and Georgia O'Keefe

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the works of famous American artist, Georgia O'Keefe, and Renaissance artist, Artemisia Gentileschi. The paper looks at the styles, techniques, and subjects of each artist, as well as their influence in the art world.

From the Paper:

"Compared to their more famous male counterparts, women artists have always been relegated to the ephemeral areas of art history. As a whole, this area of study has been grossly unrecognized and under-appreciated for a number of years, mostly due to the absence of solid documentation on the lives of those women who contributed to the long history of art in Western Civilization. Nonetheless, two prominent female painters deserve closer examination; one of these artists is Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) and the other Georgia O'Keefe (1887-1986). Both artists represent the pinnacle of artistic achievement in painting, with Gentileschi firmly established as a master of the Renaissance and O'Keefe as one of the truly great American painters of the 20th century."
