Presented as part of the University of Miami's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), this engaging three-part lecture series explores the lives, legacies, and artistic contributions of three groundbreaking women artists who defied convention and left an indelible mark on art history.

Each session will focus in depth on one artist:

• May 13 – Artemisia Gentileschi: Discover the bold and dramatic Baroque master who carved a place for herself in a male-dominated art world.

• May 20 – Frida Kahlo: Dive into the vivid, symbolic world of one of Mexico’s most iconic painters, whose deeply personal work continues to inspire generations.

• June 3 – Helen Frankenthaler: Explore the innovative techniques and color-rich abstractions of this pioneering American artist, whose work helped shape the postwar art movement and paved the way for future generations of women in abstract painting.

Through lecture, visual analysis, and discussion, we'll consider how these artists navigated their historical contexts, challenged artistic norms, and shaped the cultural conversations of their time.
