Women Artists, from the 19th Through 21st CenturyPresented by Cornelia Feye
Tuesdays, October 19 & 26; November 2, 9 & 16; 7:30 PM
Ideally, we wouldn’t need lectures about women artists, or artists of color, or artists from different cultures and sexual orientations. They would be just artists of excellence. But until this ideal is reached, there is value in focusing on select women artists of the Impressionist, German Expressionist, and Abstract Expressionist movements, as well as African American and indigenous artists from the Americas and Aboriginal Australia, who were often overshadowed by their male or white counterparts. Feye’s previous lecture series on women artists included those from Latin America and Asia; in this series she focuses are on European, American, African American, and indigenous women.
Cornelia Feye received her M.A. in Art History and Anthropology from the University of Tübingen, Germany. After five years in New York, she moved to San Diego, where she taught Eastern and Western Art History. Her museum experience includes the Mingei International, the San Diego Museum of Arts, the Museum of Man, and the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. From 2007 to 2017 she was the School of the Arts Director at the Athenaeum. Her first novel, Spring of Tears, an art mystery set in France won the San Diego Book Award for the mystery category in 2011. Her second art mystery, House of the Fox, is set in Anza Borrego desert and San Diego. Her third novel, Private Universe, a coming-of-age story and art mystery, was released in 2017. Publications include art historical essays and reviews in English and German. She is the founder of Konstellation Press, an independent publishing company specializing in genre fiction and poetry at the intersection of art, music and literature. Konstellation Press just won another San DIEGO Book Award for our short story anthology Magic, Mystery & Murder.
