Lecture “Painting Her Pleasure: Women Artists in Avant-Garde Paris”
Description: Art dealer Berthe Weill was a staunch supporter of women artists in early 20th century Paris—she fought for their success in the avant-garde and beyond. In this spirit, the Grey presents a talk by Dr. Lauren Jimerson, author of Painting Her Pleasure: Three Women Artists and the Nude in Avant-Garde Paris, on nudes by painters Émilie Charmy, Suzanne Valadon, and others. Her lecture will explore how these artists created modern nudes to challenge social and artistic conventions, explore female sexuality and subjectivity, and question gender identity.
