NMWA Salon Series: Deciphering Women Artists' Self-Portraits with Frances Borzello

Associated media

Tuesday 4 March 2014

10.45 for 11 a.m.

South Kensington (precise location provided upon RSVP)

Frances Borzello, art historian, author and lecturer, will speak to UK Friends of the National Museum of Women in the Arts on women artists' self-portraits through time, and help us to interpret and decode the messages being sent to the viewer.  

In the comfort of a private home, her sophisticated talk will re-examine a topic she first addressed in her book, Seeing Ourselves: Women's Self-Portraits, in which she examined work from the 12th century to modern times.  Dr Borzello’s talk will look in depth at the entry of women artists into the male preserve of fine art, and examine in detail the statements being made through their self-portraits. Tea and coffee will be served.

Cost: £10/Patrons; £25/Friends; £35 Guests.  RSVP to [email protected]
