"The Story of Art without Men" by Katy Hessel

Do you know how many female artists are featured in Ernst Gombrich's "The Story of Art," a bestselling art history book? None in the original 1950 edition, and only one—Käthe Kollwitz—in the 16th edition. In response to this lack of female representation, art historian and curator Katy Hessel wrote "The Story of Art Without Men," though it still lacks diversity in non-Western artists.

We're visiting the "Connecting Bodies: Asian Women Artists" exhibition at MMCA next week, and I'd like to be well-prepared by reading this book beforehand. Fortunately, I found it in almost every European museum I visited this year. It will prompt us to ask important questions: Who shapes art history? What is art? What should art be for? etc.
