Description:

Women in the 19th Century, a boxed set, includes 24 loose color plates of paintings of and by women, and a book containing essays by feminist critic Linda Nochlin and Musee d'Orsay researcher Joelle Bolloch. Nochlin inspiringly reveals the 19th-century artistic, political, and historical experience of women, while Bolloch supplies short essays on each work. The compendium includes Ingres's marmoreal, mythic nude in The Spring and the gynecological Courbet study Origin of the World as well as paintings by Bonnard, Degas, Cassatt, Manet, Morisot, and Toulouse-Lautrec. This educational set is one in a series that also contains Ancient Egypt, African art, Asian art, and Native American art. The collections are an ingenious way of acquiring inexpensive prints, along with the knowledge to appreciate them more deeply.
