Famous artist list after list after famous artist list

There are some artists who names are common knowledge. Why list them here? They're a starting point. It's easier to help people learn something new if you start with something they already know. That's how the mind works - it connects the new to the old in order to grow.

Another reason to make a famous artist list is simply to call their names. Just because an artist has their "15 minutes of fame" doesn't mean that they should be sent to rot in pop culture hell. In fact, being famous in some art circles doesn't mean you're well known at all.

Anyway, there will be hundreds of these lists at MultiPurpose-Woman. I'll make small lists to not overwhelm myself or you. So when you see names on a famous artist list Google them. You'll see some famous feminist art and some not so famous feminist art. Either way your life will be enriched.
