The Mother Artist

Portraits of Ambition, Limitation, and Creativity

Beschreibung

Few women artists feature prominently in the history of art, and even fewer who are mothers. Are motherhood and creativity at odds, or are other factors at play? The Mother Artist twines meditations on parenthood with studies of painters, writers, and others who blend caregiving and creative practice. Includes full-color images by mother artists.
