The Changing Image of "Woman" in Art

4-weeks (last 4) | Registration opens 2/14/2026 9:00 AM EST

This is a survey touching on the many roles of women as depicted in Western and non-Western art. We will explore “woman” as a symbol of fertility, seductress, nurturer, goddess and more in this slide-lecture and discussion series. We will move from very early representations to works of our own time.
