Abstract
- The article discusses a new exhibition at Tate Britain called "Now You See Us," which aims to shed light on the overlooked women artists in British art history from 1520 to 1920. The exhibition features over 200 artworks from around the world, showcasing the work of 100 women artists. The article explores the reasons why these women artists were forgotten, including societal expectations, strict marriage laws, and the influence of husbands. It also highlights the stories of specific women artists, such as Levina Teerlinc, Mary Grace, Sarah Biffin, and Louise Jopling, whose works have been largely forgotten or lost over time. The exhibition aims to recognize and celebrate the contributions of women artists and promote greater representation of women in museums and galleries. [Extracted from the article]
