The Forgotten Masters II

[@EuropeArtHeritage]

Thank you for this wonderful presentation, and for investigating deeper into artist backgrounds and truths. I have been following the "discoveries" of forgotten 16th-17th European women artists, and it has been very disheartening that so many have been written out of the art history books - or whose works became neglected because they were women-created paintings (hence, we have so few of their works remaining as proof). One such artist, most everyone knows, was Judith Leyster, whom I have heard so many times in the typical narrative that I had to believe and accept: "gave up her art when she became married". Low and behold, recently in 2016, a portrait painting of herself at the easel, apparently in her late-forties, shows up, and perhaps now, substantiates the fact that she never gave up painting after all! Always love your research and fine videos, Jill. Keep up the great work ~

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I'm glad you enjoy my work. What's interesting about this field is that you never really know when a new painting will pop up or attribution will be corrected through technology. Perhaps a few more surprises will be exposed in time. Thanks for your input!

What an inspiring documentary. Thank you!

Beautiful video! So many great artists that aren't talked about enough. I was introduced to Gwen John in art school and to this day she's still one of my favorite portrait painters.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

That's great! She really is amazing.

I’m so glad. Creating it is actually inspiring!

Thankyou Jill. You always upload great vids. Never heard of any of these wonderful artists 🫶🏻

What a wonderful list of fine fine artists. I know so little about art history, thank you for opening these beautiful images to your followers.

[@dumuzibadgurgurru8050]

Fenomenal. Gracias por compartir sobre las vidas de estas talentosas artistas. Un abrazo.

[@raininghours]

Thank you so much. As a female artist, starting later in life, I look back now and wonder if I might have chosen to paint in earnest earlier if I had been exposed to more women artists in my art history class. There was Cassatt and O’Keefe and I think that was it. When you look around as a young person and don’t see hardly anyone that looks like you being celebrated in a field that does so much celebrating, I think it makes it harder to dream. I’m thankful these women are being celebrated now, and I’m glad that girls now will see them and all their talent know they were there all the time, even against the odds.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

It's true, Joanna. It's wonderful to be able to expose people to these talented women. You might like my first video like this as well - The Forgotten Masters: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYPXe5KGj6-UmJI

[@dalhousieDream]

Berthe Morisot? Frida Kahlo?

[@raininghours]

@@dalhousieDream Morisot, yes. Kahlo, no. This would have been late 80s, early 90s. I remember looking through a book in my art class just to find the women and it was just men, men, men.

[@andrewfrost8866]

An absolutely fascinating and informative video. Quite inspiring, actually, very inspiring.

[@reclark13]

Thank you so much. I hope you consider doing more videos on female artists. This was such an amazing video. The skill of these ladies is easily on par with their male counterparts.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Thank you. I do have more names for a third video if I decide to do one someday. I love exposing people to these wonderful artists. Did you see the first one? If not, here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYPXe5KGj6-UmJI

Thank you so much for this video, Mrs. Poyard! Yes, you could go on and on!.... And I discovered (at least!) two all time favorites of mine!

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

That's wonderful, Stefan!

[@nemo9540]

In such a male dominated world I wonder just how many incredibly talented female artists had been suppressed, ignored or simply lost to time.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

You do have to wonder how many have disappeared into history...I love finding new names to share with you all.

[@MarkBegbie]

Thank you for this wonderful follow up video- there is just so much info to unpack! Its the equivalent to a beautiful hard cover fine art book and I will be referring to it for many years to come.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Mark! And what a nice comment - thank you

[@beverlyblair3341]

I just happened upon this video - stunning! It would be wonderful if more could be made like this - highlighting the incredible woman artists throughout history that we so often no little if nothing of. I enjoyed it immensely - thank you!

This is a great series on painting history. A job well done! I enjoyed it very much!

[@sunnyseacat6857]

Superb video. I never heard of any of these artists. Now, I have not studied art in an art school but love oil paintings and know what I like when I see it. When I go to museums, the paintings are 99.99% by "male painters." This video is a terrifically eye-opening feast for art lovers and is much appreciated and inspiring. I was just thinking today how to fit oil painting back into my daily life, even if for 45-60 minutes a day, focusing on one area on the canvas or one object in the painting. The light and shadows and crevices on the subject's faces and clothes are fantastic in these paintings. Thank you for a terrific video. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I'm so glad to hear how you've benefitted from y work, Sunny Seacat. If it encouraged you to pick up painting again...boy, that is my reward.

[@nileshnikaljeart]

Tragedies in artists lives - socio-cultural rules , ideologies , mental and physical illnesses , financial conditions , overshadowed by others successes ,wars etc.etc.etc. BUT it is very lovely to see their love for creation never stopped until the death caught them. BUT even after death , their love for the art made them immortal. AND we can't thank you enough to another woman who loves her wonderful creations , here , Jill Poyerd , Thank you very much. I repeat to everyone - believe me , it is love which makes you unstoppable to create.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Re "BUT even after death , their love for the art made them immortal." - Nicely put, Nil. And thank you so much...it's my honor.

It's very much my pleasure. I love introducing my people to these amazing women.

[@casey31652]

Beautiful series. So much has been forgotten of the past. In Forgotten Masters I, you asked for more female artists that your viewers admire. I haven't seen any mention of Remedios Varo, a Spanish surrealist who was an important painter in Mexico just after WWII. I love her work and saw an superb exhibit of it at the Women's Museum in Washington. Well worth mentioning.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Hi Casey - First, did I respond to your other message? Once in a while comments disappear or get lost down the list when I'm responding. I hope that wasn't the case. I'm glad you enjoyed the series. I could easily do more videos on this topic (and I may...), but yes, Varo is a very talented woman. She really captures despair in her work, to my eye.

[@toddaulner5393]

This video has less known artists at least to me. I appreciate your teaching me about them. Great talent!

[@incognito3620]

I am a male artist and appreciate you expose and laud female artists. There were so many that we never hear about. I am going to raise the ire of my male counterparts, but women are superior to men in so many things. This is why they were repressed publicly. Chauvinism has been a terrible barrier for women. I love watching your videos. Keep them coming.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

That is such a meaningful comment. I appreciate your openness here. Thank goodness we've made great strides as a society, but I do think it's important to give exposure to those who were overlooked.

[@mariahenry7090]

This was an amazing video as I know the art world is prominently male yet today women are rising to the top. This is a video which I hope will inspire other female artists as it has me. Also to not crush the artist in young children and adults but encourage those who have a desire and/or skill. Thank you for your videos they are informative and inspiring.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

That is one of my hopes - that viewers will find this inspirational. I agree about not crushing the zeal in young children. When my son was young, he had an art teacher rip his drawing up in front of him. Needless to say, I had a chat with her. Art, of all things, is something everyone can enjoy.

Fascinating. Are you aware of any female artists adopting a male "nom de plume" to gain acceptance? Thanks for posting excellent content.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I read about one woman with a pen name a while back, but can't remember who it was right now. You would think it would have been more common, but as I've researched I haven't run into it very much. What I have seen are women who had to dress like men in order to access certain painting environments.

They have, indeed. Hopefully, in my small way, we can give these ladies some of the attention they are due.

[@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic]

Just looking at all of these inctedible artists makes me feel upset - so many great workers of all time, in all crafts, have had their work disregardee because they're women. So much great work is hidden, and so many more great artists were never able to shine (and many (even most)) never even got the chance to start. It makes me feel... upset, at the world as it is, and that the systems as they are push so many aside.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

I'm sorry if it upset you in that way. I do like that in my small way I can bring these ladies a little attention that they certainly deserved. Perhaps just watching this and caring as you do honors them a little?

[@sunnyseacat6857]

This is not "women's art." It is art. Just as there is no "men's art," really, there is simply art and art speaks to all. And now for others to stop calling children who paint or draw "children's art." And I work with children who love to draw and paint but I do not refer to their work as "children's art." Cheers.
