Pedestals of amnesia

Collage 21 x 30cm
I was reading a post on Facebook where people were asked if they could name 5 Australian women artists.  I am constantly aware of how women artists all over the world are constantly written out of the history books, relegated to second place, or their efforts and achievements are claimed by men.
A prime example is Rodin who's ideas often came from his student and fellow sculptor: Camile Claudel.
