●内容简介——

革命时期英国和法国女性艺术家的一次集体批判性历史研究

在 18 世纪末和 19 世纪初，伦敦和巴黎的数百名女性成为专业艺术家，展示和销售她们的作品。许多人进入他们国家的艺术领域，并从他们的工作中获得了可观的收入，他们经常在明确旨在排斥同性成员的制度不平等中导航。在革命时期英国和法国女性艺术家的一部集体批判历史中，Paris Spies-Gans 探讨了她们如何在革命变革的关键时刻参与并影响其社会的主流文化潮流。

通过对这些叙事画家、肖像画家、雕塑家和绘图员的经历进行跨学科分析，本书挑战了艺术史上关于女性的长期假设。重要的是，它表明女性通过创作几乎所有男性实践的类型、比例相似并获得审美赞誉的作品，从而建立了有利可图的艺术生涯。它还揭示了数百名女性与男性艺术家一起学习，甚至学习了裸体绘画。在传统历史留下空白的地方，这本插图丰富的书籍照亮了一个充满活力的艺术创作世界。

以这些艺术家的广泛绘画、素描、雕塑和著作为特色，以及当代版画、讽刺和男性同龄人的作品，帆布革命改变了我们对过去女性艺术家的机会和身份的理解。

The first collective, critical historical study of women artists in Britain and France during the Revolutionary era

In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, hundreds of women in London and Paris became professional artists, exhibiting and selling their work in unprecedented numbers. Many rose to the top of their nations’ artistic spheres and earned substantial incomes from their work, regularly navigating institutional inequalities expressly designed to exclude members of their sex. In the first collective, critical history of women artists in Britain and France during the Revolutionary era, Paris Spies-Gans explores how they engaged with and influenced the mainstream cultural currents of their societies at pivotal moments of revolutionary change.

Through an interdisciplinary analysis of the experiences of these narrative painters, portraitists, sculptors, and draughtswomen, this book challenges longstanding assumptions about women in the history of art. Importantly, it demonstrates that women built profitable artistic careers by creating works in nearly every genre practiced by men, in similar proportions and to aesthetic acclaim. It also reveals that hundreds of women studied with male artists, and even learned to draw from the nude. Where traditional histories have left a void, this generously illustrated book illuminates a lively world of artistic production.

Featuring an extensive range of these artists’ paintings, drawings, sculptures, and writings, alongside contemporary prints, satires, and works by their male peers, A Revolution on Canvas transforms our understanding of the opportunities and identities of women artists of the past.
