Eve Kahn on Mary Rogers Williams
The Mary Cassatt You Never Heard Of
November 13 at 3 p.m.
[Fine Arts] Art historian Eve Kahn will lecture on revolutionary artist Mary Rogers Williams (1857 - 1907). A baker’s daughter from Hartford, Connecticut, Williams biked and hiked from the Arctic Circle to Naples, exhibited from Paris to Indianapolis, wrote about her travels and work, taught at Smith College for nearly two decades, but sadly, ended up almost totally obscure. Kahn based her prize-winning book, Forever Seeing New Beauties (Wesleyan University Press, 2019) on a trove of paintings stored in a Long Island Sound boathouse. Kahn is an independent scholar specializing in art and architecture history, design, and preservation and was a weekly Antiques columnist at The New York Times, The Magazine Antiques, and Apollo magazine.
