In 1765, for the first time, the News of the Republic of Letters and Arts, in the Review of the Salon of Correspondence for the Sciences and the Arts, published a section entitled “women painters”.
By focusing on a period, 1780-1830, when in France as in Europe there was a proliferation of renowned female artists - Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, Anne Vallayer-Coster, Marguerite Gérard, Gabrielle Capet, Marie-Geneviève Bouliard, Marie-Victoire Lemoine, Rose Ducreux, Constance Mayer, Angelika Kauffmann, Anna Dorothea Therbusch, etc. - this exhibition on the contrary highlights the historical, cultural and social conditions which have inscribed in this designation of "women painters" a paradox, the idea that these two terms
could never become one because each was associated with incompatible judgments, values and representations.
This catalogue brings together works and documents that allow us to understand how - that is to say under what conditions and according to what strategies - painters, because they were female, had to learn the trade, invest in the artistic scene, build their careers, and forge their public persona.
