By Pamela E. Apkarian-Russell, The Halloween Queen®
Women artists are often neglected and forgotten by posterity even if they were hugely successful in their own lifetimes. People see their work in museums and galleries and admire them then walk on never knowing who the artist was or the importance of their work as they are not featured and no longer famous. After all, women and their work have always been subjected to being written about and assessed by men. Even Anna Coleman Ladd, one of the most important women sculptors is forgotten, even if her sculptures are so prestigious. Being prolific or important during your life time means little if you are forgotten a decade later. Fame is like a see-saw; when you are up, you are up, but the down can take your breath away.
Being forgotten can sometimes be helped along by the artist’s own fault. In the case of Gladys Emerson Cook (1899-1976)0, being ‘cutesy’ and signing her name in different ways (or in pencil) added to the frailty of her legacy. She hadn’t put much thought into the vast amount of pastels and paintings she would leave behind, none of which were commissioned or in the hands of museums or movie
