Wright's Gutenblog: women

I feel sad that illness has stopped me from updating all interesting books from Gutenberg. The ones below are several that, for one reason or another, caught my eye. I wish I could make the time to explain why, but I can't. I rather hope it will be self-evident when you see them.

Women Painters of the World [2]

✺ ✺ ✺ ✺ ✺

This is my selection of the best of the paintings I chose to illustrate what I wrote about in Part 1 of this Gutenberg entry. As you will see, there is a loose grouping of subjects. This makes it possible to compare the differing approaches of women painters to the same subject. I'd be interested to know which painting[s] appeal[s] to you most. They are numbered. Feel free to comment.
