Capturing Nature: Abstraction and the Female Voice

60 Minutes

Join Bernadine for an exploration of nature (trees, flowers, water, land, even the moon) through Abstraction; “representations pared down to the minimum.” Female artists celebrated include 20th century pioneers Agnes Martin, Alma Woodsey Thomas, Helen Frankenthaler and Etel Adnan. What we see in the natural world, these celebrated women artists distill into the essence of its shapes, forms, and colors. This talk can be tailored to your audience or collection. Optional companion museum tour is available.

For questions regarding booking or rates for private groups and non-profit organizations, including museums, libraries and other art organizations, please contact Bernadine at bernadinefranco@yahoo.com.
