Maurine St. Gaudens, a historian, scholar, and proponent of the arts, has dedicated herself to the pursuit and recognition of artists. She is a fine arts conservator and has curated numerous exhibitions.
The set is exquisitely illustrated and printed in a well-designed
four volume format that will hold up to heavy use in a reference or
personal collection. Very well priced for the quality of the
intellectual content and presentation of visual information. This
title is essential for all academic libraries and public libraries
with strong collections in art, women's history, and history of the
western United States. -- ARLISNA.org, Rebecca Kohn, Associate
Librarian, San Jose State University Library
It's not often that you get a publication so broad in reach, so
inclusive and so immaculately researched that it can change an art
market for good. -- American Fine Art Magazine
...the lack of female art at modern-day exhibits on the West Coast,
inspired [Maurine St. Gauden's] encyclopedias. She wanted to show
the long history of excellence in female-made art, and prove that
women could paint more than just 'still lifes, children, puppies,
kittens, and ducklings, and a random landscape.' -- Alexandra
Villarreal, Staff Writer, The Philadelphia Inquirer
This publication is to be celebrated, as it celebrates women
artists who worked in California and brings them out of the shadows
and puts them together in one place for easy discovery and
research. -- Maine Antique Digest
