1000Museums celebrates
The Year of the Woman
1000Museums has joined our partner museums all over the world in designating 2020 as The Year of the Woman. Each month features a different woman artist, highlighting her work and life. It's our little way of saying "thank you" to the women who paved the way...
August 2020
Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque artist who was best known for her self-portraits and her depictions of Biblical stories. She was admired by the most respected artists of her time and garnered the favor and protection of influential people, including Cosimo II de' Medici and Galileo Galilei.

This month, we honor four black women artists who painted a picture of strength in the midst of injustice. As our team researched the incredible stories of each of these women, we were so impressed, we couldn't select just one. Please welcome Elizabeth Catlett, Rose Piper, Barbara Jones-Hogu, and Alma Thomas as we celebrate their art and lives!

Combining reality and fantasy, Frida Kahlo helped her viewers see the magic and mysteriousness of everyday life. Kahlo’s life was a harrowing reality of physical and psychological pain, but she depicts that pain with a touch of magic. Kahlo was a woman of color who proudly represented her Mexican heritage and was a true inspiration to artists, art fans, and many others.

Dorothea Lange influenced generations of photojournalists and photographers. Her images brought the plight of the poor and forgotten to the public's attention.
But most of all, Lange’s photos show us the resilience, dignity, and individuality of the people she photographed.

A woman artist in a man’s world. This extremely talented woman fought against preconceptions about women's roles in society and in the arts. She was one of the founders of the Impressionist movement and we believe she should be better known. So please meet our April gal, Berthe Morisot!
