The union of women artists and painters was founded in Paris in 1881 to represent the interests of women artists and facilitate the exhibition of their work. This is a history of the first 15 years of the organization which places it in the context of the Paris art world in the 19th century.
The Union of Women Painters and Sculptors was founded in Paris in 1881 to represent the interests of women artists and to facilitate the exhibition of their work. This lively and informative book traces the history of the first fifteen years of the organization and places it in the contexts of the Paris art world and the development of feminism in the late nineteenth century.
Tamar Garb explores how the Union campaigned to have women artists written about in the press and admitted to the Salon jury and into the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts and describes how the organization's leaders took their campaigns into the French parliament itself. Although the women of the Union were often quite conservative politically, socially, and stylistically, says Garb, they believed that women had a special gift that would enhance France's cultural reputation and maintain the uplifting moral-cultural position that seemed in jeopardy at the turn of the century. Focusing on the developments that made the prominence of the organization possible, Garb discusses the growth of the women's movement, educational reforms, institutional changes in the art world, and critical debates and contemporary scientific thought. She examines contemporary perceptions of both art and femininity, showing how the understanding of one affected the image of the other.
This book reverses conventional accounts of late nineteenth-century French art, offering a new picture of the Paris art world from the point of view of a group of women who were marginalized by its dominant institutions.

Vision and division in the sisterhood of artists; "amidst a veritable flood of painting" - establishing a context for the Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs; feminism, philanthropy and the "femme artiste"; reason and resistance - women's entry into the Ecole des Beaux-Arts; the sex of art - in search of "le genie feminin"; "l'art feminin" - a Utopian vision.
