Women Painters of the American West 

1890 - 1945

Years ago, I attended an exhibition at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage located in the foothills of the San Fernando Valley, titled: "Independent Spirits - Women Painters of the American West, 1890-1945." It was a stunning exhibit of work by women mostly viewed in the shadow of Georgia O'Keefe. Included in the exhibit, O'Keefe, by comparison, was second rate in skill and talent.

As time permits, I will be adding online information about many of these artists and their wonderful work..

Ruth Pershing Uhler
Uhler was in a minority of artists who painted abstracts in the 1930's. Often, the subjects of her work breathe a common spiritual energy.
Henrietta Shore
Of Shore, photographer Edward Weston said, "When she paints a flower she IS that flower."

Interesting subject. I never took art classes or art appreciation in school so I'm now learning about the artists. Thanks for helping me with this project.

I love your painting of earth rising.

You've opened a new world for me. I'm more of a realistic painter; never did surrealistic or impressionistic painting. Lots of info here about women artists.
