Sculpture has long been thought of as a technique reserved for men, and yet the most well-known and popular women artists of the 20th century were sculptors: Camille Claudel, Niki de Saint Phalle, Germaine Richier and the great work of Louise Bourgeois. What a strong character with a great sense of humour and high spirits! This is what we would like you discover about this extraordinary artist, who for so long worked in the dark, unnoticed, yet who never resented this. The podcast Great Women of Art gives a voice to women artists of the 20th century. They speak about their work, their lives, the world around them and their achievements. Let us go in search of their presence, their secrets. Let us rediscover the hidden history of women artists through their voices.Great Women of Art is a podcast produced by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions, in collaboration with the Institut national de l’audiovisuel, with the support of Maison Veuve Clicquot and the Ministry of Culture’s Délégation à la transmission, aux territoires et à la démocratie culturelle.
