Please join us for the next talk from the Graduate Lecture Series: "High Tide" Fluidity in Women's Art Practice Art historian and professor Anna Chave's recent writing explores the trope of the “Pathetic Male,” “Embodiment, Victimization, and the Origins of Feminist Art,” and “Female Genitalia in Contemporary Art.” She has published widely on issues of identity, reception, and interpretation, mainly with regard to 20th century art. Chave's artist subjects range from early Picasso and O’Keeffe to Pollock, Hannah Wilke, and the Gee’s Bend quilters.
