Limited Edition Pretty Brilliant Vol. I-III

The complete Pretty Brilliant: Women in the Arts series (Volumes 1–3) is now available as a Limited Edition box set. This glossy collection features 750 pages, highlights 583 women artists, and represents thousands of hours of dedicated research.

The Pretty Brilliant series is a response to the complete absence of womankind from the first editions of the most authoritative books on all matters art history: Janson’s History of Art and Gombrich’s The Story of Art. Together, these three volumes in the Pretty Brilliant series form a sister to these titles.

Women have made art throughout a history that did not ask anything of them – and certainly did not reward them. Yet they embodied creation in its purest form, for no other reason than to express, to share and to recount the joy, the pain, and beauty of the world they saw before them. This body of work is dedicated to every woman artist who has ever been and may ever be. You are pretty brilliant.
