On the latest episode of Entre Nous, FRANCE 24’s Genie Godula sits down with Dr. Lauren Jimerson, an accomplished art historian and author of “Painting Her Story: Feminist Perspectives on the Art of Women,” to explore the works of groundbreaking female artists, including Suzanne Valadon.
Suzanne Valadon, a self-taught artist and model, defied societal norms in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to become one of the most influential figures in the Impressionist movement. Known for her bold and unapologetic approach to depicting the female form, Valadon’s work challenged traditional notions of femininity and beauty. Dr. Jimerson sheds light on the significance of Valadon’s contributions to the art world and discusses the barriers faced by women artists during her time.
In addition to Valadon, Dr. Jimerson highlights other trailblazing women artists who have made significant impacts on the art world, such as Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Louise Bourgeois. These artists pushed boundaries, challenged conventions, and paved the way for future generations of women in the arts.
Through in-depth analysis and captivating storytelling, Dr. Jimerson invites viewers to discover and appreciate the unique perspectives and talents of these extraordinary female artists. The conversation serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diverse voices and contributions of women in art history.
