WOMEN IN ARTS

           If we go back to history, in renaissance time, baroque, and even in Plato’s times. We knew that women are not accepted in society, in terms of leadership and in the field of art. They said that women are just for crafts (monumental art), childbearing, and man’s gaze. Following the system were women are just secondary to men’s. 

          “Feminism” organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests. It I an advocacy for women rights. As the history tells about women, women are degraded by men’s. In this case we will talk about “ART” like paintings of Constance Marie Carpentiear and Sofonisba Anguisola they are woman artist in renaissance time. At their time women are in the lower status of society. As a result when women artist exhibited their artwork, bringing their names as an artist, it would rather not be sold because during that time people are still in cultured (close minded) so they come up in wise idea, they bring the names of their master or teacher so that the Marxist system still effective “ no losses”.


           1970’s when the movement (feminism) became significant in the arts world. One of these is the “The Dinner Party” by the women artist named Judy Chicago. “The Dinner Party” is an installation was the shape is triangular and it symbolizes “Trinity”. This installation tells about what and who are the matriarchal phrase of history (the powerful women in B.C. and A.D.). Examples of these are the Primordial goddess, Ishtar, Mediterranean snake goddess, Queen Hatshepsut and Empress Theodora. Judy Chicago made this art that shout about the sacrificing of women in patriarchal domination of western society. This art made perfect and give influence to all women that they should fight for their rights.


            Giorgia O’ Keeffe said when she made her art the Black Iris III. “Trying will all my skill to do a painting that is all of a woman as well as all of me”. Man’s cannot rule women just because they are more powerful being, live here on earth. They should also know that if they are something in man’s world that only man can tell, they are also something about women that only a woman can express. As they define art simple to describe as it is easy to define. Every individual have differences of the talent, sexuality, attitude and learning. Direct word on it is respect for the sake of world peace.
