Class held July 22-26, 2024 in Taos, NM. - Instructor: Amy Von Lintel, Ph.D. - Through site visits and hands-on learning experiences, this course will explore the many women artists who have worked in and responded to the US Southwest, including modernists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Abstract Expressionists such as Elaine de Kooning, the Minimalist work of Agnes Martin, and the Land Art of Nancy Holt. Our class will discover how New Mexico is the perfect place to study the intersections of gender, geography, and creativity.
