Millington, R. Tate Campaign #5 Women Artists to Challenge gender inequality in art. At: htps://ruthmillington.com/tate-5womenartists-gender-inequality-in-art/ (Accessed on 1st of September 2019).
Ruth Millington believes that women have traditionally been ignored when looking at the history of art. The Tate gallery are trying to combat this by holding five solo exhibitions featuring art by women this year (2020) and next (2021), this is being called the #5 women artists. Millington explores Linda Nochlin’s work briefly. Then she looks at what has changed from the Renaissance era to the 19th century. The ability to draw a nude figure was an essential skill, but for women it was seen as improper to be drawing this form. Over time this changed, but women were only allowed under supervision of a man. Art that has been associated with women, has systematically under appreciated.
