- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 02 Aug, 2025 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 02 Aug, 2025 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In 1930, writing about her sister Vanessa Bell, Virginia Woolf describes how “it was held, until sixty years ago […] for a woman to look upon nakedness with the eye of an artist, and not simply with the eye of mother, wife or mistress, was corruptive of her innocency and destructive of her domesticity.” In this lecture, author and art historian Rebecca Birrell explores how Bell, among others (including Evelyn de Morgan, Gwen John, and Winifred Knights), overcame moral and pedagogical constraints to produce nudes that reflected new ideas about women’s ambitions, desires, and social roles. If the nude was taboo, how did women artists, including Gluck and Ethel Sands, innovate in other genres such as flower paintings and interiors to reflect on sexuality, gender, and the body?
