description: Like the first volume, this second takes its subtitle from the 16th-century Giorgio Vasari survey of artists' lives. Cheney (art history, U. of Massachusetts Lowell) presents an updated version of Vasari's an assessment of artistic innovation. With a focus on women artists from the Modern and Postmodern eras, nine profiles describe artists' careers, analyze their subject matter, and consider their contributions to visual arts. Women profiled include Julia Margaret Cameron, Mary Cassatt, Frida Kahlo, Marguerite Zorach, Sarah Supplee, Marianna von Recklinghausen Bowles, Joyce Cohen, and Alicia Faxon.
