As creative ideas took hold in the sciences, modern artists created new ways of seeing the world through formal experiments.\u00a0 Fryd will explore the talents, relationships, privilege, and influences that enabled each woman to invent her own distinctive approach to modernism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe, Florine Stettheimer, Marguerite Zorach, and Helen Torr found space for creativity that was separate from their male counterparts.\u00a0 Each created unique paintings, contributing to the evolution of experimental avant-garde works in Manhattan.\u00a0 Vivien Fryd, professor of history of art, will examine the art and careers of these four pioneering artists and their contributions&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7000,"featured_media":5578,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,16,19,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-hart","category-lectures","category-vrc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7000"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/arthistoryblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
