However, history seems to have forgotten about the women who helped define the American art movement.
Yet, their thick skin and bold determination shines through in their striking paintings that deserve to be celebrated.
Many gallerists in the later half of the 1950s insisted that female artists were not marketable.
Women were marginalized in the art world, often functioning as supportive wives first and artists second.
This notion prompted female Abstract Expressionists to downplay their work in favor of promoting their husbands.
There was something about the show that sort of attached women-wives to the real artists.
It wasnt until 2016after many of them had diedthat female Abstract Expressionists had their own show.
Share it to keep their legacy alive!
