How have artists portrayed sorority throughout the history of art?
And how have they claimed the role of women?
Who are the Guerrilla Girls and what do their actions consist of?
What artistic resources do Tamara de Lempicka and Maruja Mallo share when building their model of women?
In the second chapter of La Galería, Sara Rubayo, art historian and cultural promoter, reviews some of the most decisive paintings in history in terms of the role of women in society and the arts.
Rubayo, who is known on social networks as La Gata Verde, delves into it in the video that accompanies the news, a format from EL PAÍS that proposes a journey by the hand of the historian through the great themes of humanity through the art.

Rubayo uses an interactive screen to analyze the works in detail and point out the most important elements of each one in order to understand their meaning and their importance in the historical context in which they were made.
Tamara de Lempicka, Maruja Mallo, Labille-Guiard and Artemisia Gentileschi are the four authors that Rubayo talks about, although he also highlights the Guerrilla Girls, a contemporary cultural movement that fights for the presence of female painters in museum halls around the world.
