Annual Henri Zerner Lecture: Imprints and Erasures—A New Story of Art

Paris A. Spies-Gans will show how women have been erased from the history of art and will share discoveries that challenge gendered assumptions.

Two paintings are side by side. The first shows a couple in an outdoor scene being offered jewelry from a woman, with a cupid-like figure nearby. The second is the same image blurred.

.: Martes, Abril 23 6:30pm – 8pm.

The lecture will take place in Menschel Hall, Lower Level. Doors to the hall will open for seating at 6pm.

All ages.

Additional information

In her lecture, art historian Paris A. Spies-Gans will share this troubling history and present a series of recent discoveries that challenge the powerful, gendered assumptions that continue to inflect our views of the past. By recovering the traces of women artists—the imprints they left behind—we can update essential parts of art history’s most enduring narratives.
