About the Program:
Join ADSNY for the first of a series of programs that celebrate 2020’s Year of the Woman! This illustrated talk, by historian Kathleen Murphy Skolnik, will examine the works of talented women who made their mark on design during the Art Deco era in fields that were often dominated by men.
Skolnik will explore the period of exceptional creativity in the 1920s and 30s as artists and designers developed a new, modern decorative approach to design that we now call Art Deco. Though the majority of the most celebrated Art Deco designers remembered today are men, a number of women––many overlooked, forgotten, or overshadowed by their better-known spouses––also adopted and fostered the development of the Deco aesthetic.
We will survey the work of talented women such as sculptor Gwen Lux; industrial designers Helen Dryden and Belle Kogan; metal designers Ilonka Karasz and Elsa Tennhardt; muralists Lillian Gaertner Palmedo, Helen Forbes, and Dorothy Pucinelli; as well as textile designers Ruth Reeves and Loja Saarinen, who made their mark on designs of the Art Deco era.
Register now to join us for this fascinating illustrated talk.
