Sourced from scholarly and primary materials, as well as museum archives, exhibition records, and socio-cultural records, the list is neither exhaustive nor perfect. Now numbering over two thousand names of established, exhibited female practitioners, this index is not comprehensive and is emphatically not presented as such. This directory seeks to address-and redress-the lack of a comprehensive codex of Southern women artists active between the late 1890s and the early 1960s, the period surveyed in TJC’s most recent book, Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection.
While many of the artists connected to the region are widely known and duly noted in the canon of American art history, far more fine artists-and female artists, in particular- have been overlooked. Through its academic research, the Johnson Collection has worked intently to document and celebrate the achievements of artists associated with the South.
