PART 1 | Women Artists: An Overview

Join visual artist and Art Muse lecturer Regina Mamou for the launch of our Ladies' Choice series as she leads us through a historical overview of women artists. View and discuss well-known works, such as Clara Peeters's still life paintings and Julia Margaret Cameron's Victorian photographs. Additionally, learn about little-known artists: Pitseolak Ashoona, who was an indigenous artist from Canada fusing art with life in the Arctic, and Bettina Werner, a contemporary Italian artist who uses salt throughout her oeuvre. The through-line for the series is an exploration of the society, culture, and politics informing generations of women artists.
