Solomon Guggenheim and Hilla von Rebay…Behind almost every great MUSEUM is a woman who did the work.
Alfred Barr and Marga Barr…Behind almost every great MUSEUM is a woman who did the work.
Stories of forgotten audacious women who shattered societal norms. Their passions, courage, and groundbreaking examples continue to resonate, inspiring a legacy that challenges the conventional history you may have been taught.
Join me for a lively and visually rich presentation celebrating groundbreaking women artists with birthdays or significant anniversaries in March! This session features Elaine de Kooning’s bold and witty abstract portraiture, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller’s resilience through racism and sexism, Matilda Geddings Gray’s remarkable collection of jeweled eggs, Rosa Bonheur’s defiant stance against gender norms, and Yayoi Kusama’s journey through mental illness to global acclaim.
Each artist’s story begins with a festive birthday scene, setting the stage for their artistic achievements and the barriers they broke. This is the first in a quarterly series honoring women artists throughout the year, weaving history, art, and storytelling into an inspiring journey.
If you love art history, feminist narratives, or creative inspiration, don’t miss this celebration of visionary women who shaped the art world!
