Woman And Artist (1900)

Beschreibung

""Women and Artist"" is a book written by Max O'Rell and published in 1900. The book explores the role of women in the arts, particularly in painting and sculpture. O'Rell argues that women have the same artistic talents as men, but have been historically oppressed and prevented from pursuing their passions in the arts. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of women's involvement in the arts. O'Rell discusses the history of women in art, the challenges they face in pursuing their artistic careers, and the ways in which society has attempted to limit their creative expression. Throughout the book, O'Rell highlights the achievements of several notable female artists, including Mary Cassatt, Rosa Bonheur, and Berthe Morisot. He argues that these women were able to overcome societal barriers and achieve great success in their fields, despite the obstacles they faced. Overall, ""Women and Artist"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of women in the arts, and serves as a call to action for society to support and encourage women's creative expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Leon Paul Blouet, a French author and journalist, used the pen name Max O'Rell. Max O'Rell was born Leon Pierre Blouet on March 3, 1847, in Avranches, a little hamlet near the Abbey of Mont St Michel in Normandy on the border with Brittany. He later preferred the name Leon Paul Blouet. His paternal grandfather, Jean-François Blouet, was the jail warden at Mont St Michel from 1806 to 1818. At the age of twelve, he relocated to Paris and attended the conservatoire and college before earning a B.A. and a BSc from the Sorbonne in 1865 and 1866, respectively. With few chances in France, Blouet chose to become a journalist and departed for London in 1872. In 1874, he was appointed senior master of French at the prestigious St Paul's School for Boys in London. Later that year, he married Mary Bartlett in Devon. Their daughter, Léonie, was born in 1875. Blouet began working on a book of sketches about England in the early 1880s, most likely influenced by Hippolyte Taine's Notes sur l'Angleterre. Calmann-Lévy published John Bull et son île in Paris in 1883 under the pseudonym Max O'Rell, which he used to maintain the dignity of his teaching position.
