Art Talk: Women Impressionist Painters

Roosevelt Room & Online

This program is presented in partnership with the Acton Memorial Library with options to attend in person at the Maynard Library or via Zoom.

Registration is required for this event.  Click here to register. 

 

We’ll explore women Impressionist painters beginning with the only three women who exhibited with the French Impressionists in the late 19th century, Berthe Morisot, Marie Bracquemond, and Mary Cassatt, the only American to exhibit with the French Impressionists. We’ll also study the paintings of Eva Gonzalès, a student of Edouard Manet. American women “Impressionists” will be represented in the paintings by Lilla Cabot Perry, Cecilia Beaux, and Matilda Browne.

SHARING ART IN A TIME OF CRISIS

Register to attend this virtual meeting

Join painters Diane Novetsky and Marjorie Kaye as they discuss their work, art practice, and ideas with Artscope Magazine publisher Kaveh Mojtabai. During this meeting, they’ll discuss their recent exhibition, “Strange Circuitry” at ArtSpace Maynard which was closed last month. This webinar will provide a virtual meeting space for artists, curators and all those interested in the arts.

Kaye and Novetsky’s work features organic forms pulsating in a universe of bold color, high energy and vibrant sensuality. Kaye crafts dense paintings on small, shaped plywood and Novetsky works on large canvases. Their paintings explore a centrifugal movement of elements that form a central core. The use of color is visceral, saturated and hypnotic; swirling with an energy that is both harmonic and disturbing.
