Women and Art: A History of Women Painters and
Sculptors from the Renaissance to the Twentieth Century
by Elsa Honig Fine: Women have been both the mother
and the maiden in the eyes, hearts and art of men. Elsa
Fine has given another perspective to the appreciation of art
- that of women as creators and critics of art. Women are
able to use their ability to create as a means to express their
inner desires and beliefs, to connect to themselves in times
when a female identity had to be hidden beneath a charade
of demur behavior and extravagant fashion. This 10 page
paper examines women and art from the perspective
presented by Ms. Fine. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Art & Beauty’s Role in Knowledge : A 5 page paper
examining whether art can provide knowledge, or whether
that knowledge instead is resident within the individual but
unrealized until the experience of the art reveals it.
Whether the individual is able to either recognize or access
that knowledge is immaterial. When art can bring forth an
understanding, it is not providing knowledge per se, but
rather providing a framework in which that knowledge can
be contained and translated to the conscious mind of its
viewer. It is within this context that the work of Warhol
becomes important, and Picasso’s Weeping Women series
portrays not only the image of pain, but also conveys an
understanding of it. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
