Women Artists in Belgium and Netherlands 1500 -1950. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Elck zijn waerom" held at the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerp 17.10.1999-16.01.2000 and the Museum voor Moderne Kunst Arnhem 26.02.2000-04.06.2000. "Elck his 'why' was the title of the first exhibition of female artists in the Netherlands. The aim was to provide an overview of 500 years of female artists in the Netherlands and Belgium with over 300 works by 135 women: altarpieces landscapes still lifes genre scenes portraits historical paintings and sculptures. The title of the exhibition was taken from the motto of Mary Tesselschade 1594-1649. You can read her motto as a confident call - Why Why! - And behind that "why" is an unprecedented hidden world . because these artists deserve more attention than they have hitherto received because female artists in the past were not taken seriously and because many people after their death fell into oblivion.
