The Canvas Ceiling – lectures on Women in Art at Dulwich Picture Gallery

This Autumn’s Tuesday evening lecture series – The Canvas Ceiling, starting on January 12th, includes: An Unsuitable Job for a Woman? ; Frida Kahlo – a life on canvas ; Art and the F-Word: Feminism ; Modern Mothers ; Georgia O’Keeffe ; “Mad Tracey from Margate”

This series examines the involvement of women in art, not as models to be painted by men for men, but as significant artists in their own right. From the 17th century to the early 20th, female artists were very much in the minority. Two women were amongst the founder members of the Royal Academy in 1768, but it was 168 years before another woman was permitted to add ‘RA’ to her name.
