At a Glance
In 1971, art historian Linda Nochlin’s iconic essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” sent shock waves through the art establishment, triggering a massive reevaluation of the history of art. Join art history expert and longtime Road Scholar instructor Matthew Palcynski to explore art by women about women. How did O’Keeffe feel about her imagery in relation to her gender? How did Neel push the reclining nude into innovative territory? What does the work of Weems, Sherman and others reveal about gender roles against the backdrop of mid-20th century Hollywood narrative cinema?
