In this book, we invite you to discover, or perhaps rediscover, Paris. We will take you on a journey where the history of modern art comes alive in the streets, magnificent buildings, museums, galleries, and cafés of Paris, starting from the middle of the 19th century until the beginning of the 1940s.
Through the stories of artists and writers, who forever changed the artistic life of what would be the capital of the art world for a long time, you will learn about important social changes that caused conformist and academic art to be replaced by the avant-garde. You will get to know the artists and creators of new art movements, survivors of bohemia and of scandals, and especially the women who played such a pivotal role in their lives. Through their intriguing stories, we will also explore the struggles for survival, equality, and recognition faced by forgotten female artists in a male-dominated time when women had little or no rights. We invite you to look at Paris with fresh eyes, to feel the souls of these amazing men and women in each neighbourhood whilst you come on this art voyage with us.
Renate van Nijen, a Dutch artist and writer who lives in Spain, went on this journey and wants to share it with you. She also brought many of the women in this book to life through her paintings.
