Presented by Belle Michael
Santa Barbara Museum of Art Docent Belle Michael will present this original program touching on two different aspects of art. In the first hour we will consider “Art-Body-Context” and discuss the way in which artists have used various art elements to characterize the human body in paintings and sculptures, representing or responding to cultural and historic events. The second hour of the program will be a presentation on “Women Artists in the Museum,”focusing on the life and work of women artists whose artwork is exhibited in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, among them Della Shull, Florine Stettheimer, Mary Cassatt, Berthe Morisot, Lydia Field, Rina Banerjee, and more.
