Women Painting Women invites you to explore the powerful evolution of portraiture through the eyes of nearly 50 visionary female artists. Spanning from the 1960s to today, this stunning collection brings together works that challenge the conventional portrayals of women, shifting the lens from male-dominated interpretations to those driven by female experience and perspective. Women Painting Women shines a light on the ways in which painting—traditionally the domain of male artists—has become a vehicle for female empowerment, redefining the image of womanhood. With over 40 artists contributing to this visual narrative, the book weaves together works that celebrate the body, the soul, and the infinite variations of femininity.

Featuring iconic artists such as Alice Neel, Rita Ackermann, and María Berrío, alongside emerging talents like Jordan Casteel, Somaya Critchlow, and Apolonia Sokol, this book highlights portraits that are rich with complexity, beauty, and joy. Each piece explores themes like selfhood, the body, nature personified, and the use of color in portraiture, offering fresh, nuanced depictions of women and their lived experiences. Featuring artists such as Joan Brown, Kim Dingle, Jenny Saville, Faith Ringgold, Nicole Eisenman, and Lorna Simpson, this volume not only celebrates these pioneering women but also challenges the history of portraiture, creating new possibilities for how we imagine and represent the female form.

Discover the full spectrum of women's voices in art. Women Painting Women is more than a collection of portraits—it's a revolution in how we see and understand women through the eyes of women artists.
