Women Artists A to Z

This lushly illustrated alphabet picture book presents both famous and underrepresented women of the fine arts from a variety of genres: painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and more. Each spread features a simple line of text that encapsulates the creator's iconic work in one word, such as "D is for Dots" (Yayoi Kusama) and "S is for Spider" (Louise Bourgeois), followed by slightly longer text about the artist for older readers who would like to know more.

Artists featured: Mirka Mora, Betye Saar, Helen Frankenthaler, Yayoi Kusama, Kay Sage, Georgia O'Keeffe, Agnes Martin, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Elizabeth Catlett, Judith Leyster, Leonora Carrington, Carmen Herrera, Edmonia Lewis, Maya Lin, Hilma af Klint, Maria Martinez, Gee's Bend quilters, Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, Loïs Mailou Jones, Alice Neel, Helen Zughaib, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Dorothea Lange, Xenobia Bailey, and Maria Sibylla Merian.

Women Artists A to Z is the first children's book by author Melanie LaBarge and freelance graphic designer and illustrator Caroline Corrigan, both located in Upstate New York.  Both are mothers who share their love of color and museums through this publication.
