Celebrating Women Artists: Rosa Bonheur Taking Charge
Presented by Art Historian Rena Tobey
Online Via Zoom - Registration Required

Nothing was going to stop Bonheur from her calling--as an artist and unprecedented, as a woman depicting animals in paint and bronze. She challenged societal rules that restricted where women could go and what they could learn. From the slaughterhouse to public auctions, from the Highlands of Scotland to the forests of Fontainebleau, Bonheur surged forward on her quest to show animals with regal splendor and in all their metaphorical glory.

Rena Tobey is an American art historian whose passion centers on making art accessible, insightful, and fun. She has taught at NYU's School for Professional Studies and Southern Connecticut State University. Rena conducts lively, interactive tours of New York City's museum collections, now online. Her research and writing centers on American women artists working before 1945, with particular interest in the challenges they faced in bucking societal norms.

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Rena — any and all questions about these artworks are welcomed and encouraged!

The program is a collaboration of the
Staatsburg Library, Stone Ridge Library, Clinton Community Library & Millbrook Library
