TABLE OF CONTENT
Cover
Seated at her easel in 1785, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard seems the epitome of 18th-century charm and beauty. But beneath the fashionable hat and frills was a woman of formidable courage, conviction and creative accomplishment. Labille-Guiard was in fact one of the outstanding portrait painters of her day in France. She was also a self-made feminist who challenged the all-powerful, male-dominated Académie Royale to open its doors to all outstanding women artists. When they refused—limiting membership to four, of whom she was one—Labille-Guiard cannily incorporated two other women artists into her own self-portrait, which was hung for all to see in the official Salon exhibition.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gift of Julia A. Berwind, 1953.
