Now You See Us

 Reviewed: Women Artists in Britain 1520-1920 at Tate Britain



Dear friends.  I popped over to Tate Britain in the last few days of this exhibition.  Normally I record a few photos and thoughts on Instagram Stories, but this exhibition is so important, so beautifully curated and so inspiring I thought I would devote a blog post to it.

The title, Now You See Us, is wonderful because it sums up the issue.  Women artists were largely underrated and quickly forgotten. It was apparent from seeing who owns the various paintings.  Very few had been loaned from the big international art museums. It was good to see that many of the paintings were on loan from King Charles.
