Description
The story of five women who revolutionised modern art is a thrilling and revealing one. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the 20th century, their lives and paintings propelled a seismic shift in the art world. These women, who dared to enter a male-dominated field, burst open the door to the art world for themselves and countless others to come. From their cold-water lofts, where they worked, drank, fought, and loved, they created something truly original. Their stories are one of gutsy determination, fearlessness, and vulnerability, as they navigated the challenges of their chosen careers. This chronicle of their lives and art is a testament to their indomitable spirit and the enduring power of their creative vision.
