Led by Dr. Batia Cohen, this program examines the life and work of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most powerful painters of the Baroque era. Against all odds, Gentileschi forged a celebrated career, bringing an intensity and emotional depth to her dramatic biblical and mythological subjects. Participants will explore how her paintings challenged conventions and gave women new visibility in art.

This program is part of the series Women in Art with Dr. Batia Cohen.
 For centuries, women have been relegated to a footnote or a simple phrase in the history of art. Usually, their art is valued at a lesser price than their male contemporaries. It is time to give them their rightful place and importance! Artemisia Gentileschi and the Baroque, Gabriele Münter and the Theory of Color, Helen Frankenthaler and the abstract expression, Marisol and Pop Art in New York, and Yayoi Kusama and her therapeutic art.
