Join us at the JCC on Wednesday, December 10, at noon, for Sara Howell’s lecture, “Unappreciated in their Time: Jewish Female Modern Artists.”
In 1946, an art critic saw a new technique applied to canvas- drip painting. Instead of praising the artist, Janet Sobel, for her extraordinary work, he taught it to Jackson Pollock. Many famous Modern art techniques were pioneered by Jewish women but credit given to their male contemporaries. This talk will celebrate these women who changed, and continue to change, the narrative of post-war Modern art.
