Getty Museum Series- Art Herstory: The Few, The Proud, The Female (online)

Art Herstory: The Few, the Proud, the Female 

While the Getty isn’t particularly known for its female artists, a deeper look has yielded roughly 25 surprises including painters, sculptors and photographers. Some of the names are familiar such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun and Dorothea Lange, but how about Maria Sybilla Merian or Luisa Roldan? We will take a look at their lives and works in the Getty Collection.

Docent Lee Rubinstein holds dual degrees in English and History with a minor in Art History. She has been leading students through the galleries at the Getty since the program's inception in 2012. Additionally, in 2007, Lee created the curriculum for, and now runs, a volunteer art program in underserved schools in Los Angeles.
