Art Talks at the ART BASE:
MUSE & MAKER: RETHINKING WOMEN IN ART HISTORY
Lissa Ballinger Art Talk
Thursday, May 17
6:00pm at the Charles J. Wyly Gallery

This members-only art talk will start with a brief introduction of the role that women have traditionally played in the art world—as muse, lover or assistant, and how many women artists gained recognition only because of their intimate relationship with a male artist. The discussion will then turn to critical contemporary issues in the art world and its relationship with women. And, finally, in honor of the effort (supported by institutions such as Wikipedia and The New York Times) to promote female artists that have been overlooked, Ballinger will select several women artists that she feels warrant more exploration and recognition.
