Women Artists in Paris: A Quiet Revolution (A Two-Part Program)

Between 1850 and the early 20^th Century, Paris was the center of the art world, and women artists from other countries in Europe arrived to join their French and American counterparts. They took advantage of the museums, art academies, and dynamic urban life of the newly redesigned capital. Although not as celebrated as their male colleagues, these women took on modern subjects and experimented with scenes from private life, drawing upon their social difference as a source of artistic inspiration. They played a pivotal role in the emergence of both Impressionism and Symbolism. This two-part presentation will introduce you to these determined women who overcame immense obstacles to create vibrant and innovative works.
