Trazos invisibles

Was Lola Mora the only active artist between 1890 and 1920? Judging by the repercussion of his work, one might think so. Or was it just the most visible emergent of a forgotten creative group: that of the female artists of that period? Georgina Gluzman presents in this book the work of other female artists in the city of Buenos Aires during those years. This is a large group whose importance has been overlooked: Maria Obligado de Soto y Calvo, Sofía Posadas, Eugenia Belin Sarmiento, Ana Weiss de Rossi, Lía Correa Morales, among many others. In addition to focusing on a group of figures and works, the author analyzes issues such as the artistic education of women, the representation of artists in the press and the relationships between women's movements and arts, thus mapping a complex map of trajectories, productions and practices marginalized by traditional studies.
