GALLERY TALK: Breaking the Mold: Women Sculptors of the 19th–20th Centuries

Perhaps more than other visual media, sculpture was considered the domain of male artists into the early 20th century. How did women artists like Camille Claudel (1864–1943), Harriet Hosmer (1830–1908), Augusta Savage (1892–1962) and others carve a niche for themselves and outshine their male peers? Join Denise Giannino, Docent & Tour Programs Manager, for an exploration of groundbreaking women sculptors in The Wadsworth collection in celebration of Women’s History Month.

Free with admission. Registration encouraged. Meet outside the Museum Shop.
