Women Artists: Their Inspirations and Influence
8-weeks | Available (Membership Required)
From the Baroque era to the contemporary era, there has been an incredibly diverse group of women artists working across genres and media to create a large body of visual images that live at the heart of our culture and reflect our sense of values and identity. Looking across 400 years of Western art making, from Artemisia Gentileschi and Kathe Kollwitz to living artists like Sally Mann and Wangechi Mutu, we will look at where these women have found their inspirations and what have been their influence on their time.
