Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880-1940)
- Location: University Art Gallery
- Cost: Free Admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880-1940)
Date: April 12-April 30, 2016
Location: CVPA Campus Gallery, UMass Dartmouth
Gallery hours: Monday-Saturday 10 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Opening Reception: Wednesday, April 20 from 5 pm to 7 pm with the Gallery Talk at 5 pm
We might think that Linda Nochlin's famous 1988 question--Why have there been no great women artists?--is no longer applicable today. Thousands and thousands of girl students attended art academies right after the Civil War to meet growing industrial and cultural demand for illustrators, engravers, printmakers, miniaturists and portrait painters, but only Mary Cassatt and Georgia O'Keefe are part of the art historical canon.
Modernist critics and historians have often dismissed women's representational art because they privilege formalist invention over pictorial illusionism. Because of their focus on the individual fine artist, artistic style and elite patronage, such critics and historians have often ignored the importance of commercial illustration, printmaking, and traditional craft.
UMass Dartmouth's Art History Department and its upperclassmen address this premise in its exhibition, "Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880 - 1940)," which runs from April 12 to April 30.
The exhibition is a collaborative project whereby students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience.
This is the 5th year that art history professors Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum-quality exhibition and publication.
This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities that extend from Providence to Provincetown. The women artists represented in the exhibition are Blanche Lazzell, Lucy L'Engle, Agnes Weinrich, Ethel Mars, Maud Squire, Grace Albee, Eliza D. Gardiner, Jessie Willcox Smith, Frances Gifford, Sarah Eddy, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Mabel Woodward, Alice Barbara Stephens, Blanche Ames Ames and Allen Sisters, among others.
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the arts community, including Julie Heller Gallery of Provincetown, Bert Gallery of Providence, Portsmouth Free Public Library, Smith College's Sophia Smith Archive, University of Massachusetts Amherst Archive and Special Collection, Providence Art Club, Providence Athenaeum, New Bedford Whaling Museum, and private collectors.
The exhibition, free and open to the public, is held at the College of Visual & Performing Arts, Campus Art Gallery, 285 Old Westport Road (adjacent to parking lot 9) in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
The opening reception is Wednesday, April 20 from 5 pm to 7 pm with the Gallery Talk at 5 pm.
