Part 3 of 5 Art History Lectures Women Artists, from the 19th Through 21st Century
Presented by Cornelia Feye
Tuesday, November 2; 7:30 PM
Individual tickets: $16/21
The Abstract Expressionist art movement in 1950s New York was spearheaded by Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock. Elaine de Kooning and Pollock’s wife, Lee Krasner, supported their husbands’ art and career, often at the expense of their own. Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler asserted their place in the macho art scene of Abstract Expressionism. This lecture also introduces several lesser-known Abstract Expressionist women artists.
