The Artist was a woman

Spotlighting representative talents from a landmark exhibition mounted by the Los Angeles County Museum and the Brooklyn Museum, this production maneuvers through 400 years of paintings executed by women artists. Covering a period 1550-1950, the film begins with the Renaissance painter Artemesia Gentileschi and ends with French decorative artist Sonia Delaunay prior to her death. Includes interviews with Germaine Greer, Linda Nochlin and Ann Harris.
