ARTH 392 Gender Issues in Art and Art History: Women Surrealist Artists

• Tuesdays, 6;00pm-8:15pm
• Online: Access through Moodle
• Instructor: Dr. Kat Simpson

Surrealism has often been regarded – and taught – as an artistic movement dominated by men, and even more specifically by men in Paris during the 1920s–30s. In this course we will redress that bias by attending to the life and work of surrealist women artists working in a range of countries and decades. Such artists include but are not limited to: Leonor Fini, Meret Oppenheim, Dorothea Tanning, Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo, Maria Izquierdo, Kay Sage, Eva Švankmajerová, Francesca Woodman, Elsa Schiaperelli, Lee Miller, and Claude Cahun.
