Art Herstory: The Few, the Proud, the Female
A Getty Museum Presentation via Zoom
Monday, June 17, 1:00-2:00 pm EST
For FHNN & LFV Members & Volunteers
While the Getty isn’t particularly known for its female artists, a deeper look has yielded roughly 25 surprises including painters, sculptors and photographers. Some of the names are familiar such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun and Dorothea Lange, but how about Maria Sybilla Merian or Luisa Roldan? We will take a look at their lives and works in the Getty Collection. The June 17 program will focus on painters and sculptors. A Getty program on female photographers, Art Herstory: Behind the Lens, will be scheduled soon.
This virtual tour is for FHNN and Little Falls Village members and volunteers as part of our collaboration. Register online. FHNN members or volunteers who need help registering can email information.fhnn@gmail.com with Herstory June in the subject line.
