A journey through art history´s women artists

An interesting journey through the history of art over the centuries, explaining different examples of women artists of extraordinary quality and importance but of little relevance today. Some of them have been exhibited in recent years in the Prado like Sofonisba Anguissola and Clara Peeters. Impressionist artists like Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassat and 20th c artists like Louise Bourgeoise or Eva Hesse. Women artists are fortunately regaining promininence.

Alejandra Carazo
“From my experience and studies in Modern Art, l learned to understand ART as a reflection of Humanity in each moment of History. Artists and their creations open doors to vital aspects, from anthropology to science, through emotions, gifting us with an understanding of the world from spheres we do not usually encounter in our daily lives. Trained by Amelia Arenas, former Head of Education of the MOMA, and thanks to the focus of Bernard and Christine Picasso in the values of Art and Education, I lived a lifetime experience at the Picasso Museum which allowed me to deliver the art world to more than 80k visitors in my 8 years at the institution, becoming an expert in teaching general audiences how to appreciate the artwork from their own personal view and background, meeting oneself in the act of viewing. I nowadays continue to share my art knowledge in private collections and as freelance curator and lecturer. At the same time life has led me to encounter with the no less exciting world of design, curating contemporary design homes where creativity and art play an important role.” Alejandra last talked to in November 2023 when her subject was Andy Warhol.
