The New Woman Behind the Camera
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Presents: The New Woman Behind the Camera
Wednesday, September 15, 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM
The "New Woman" of the 1920s was a powerful expression of modernity, a global phenomenon that embodied an ideal of female empowerment based on women making revolutionary changes in life and art. Featuring more than 120 photographers from 20+ countries, this groundbreaking exhibition, on view at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art through October 3, explores work of diverse “new” women who embraced photography as a mode of professional and artistic expression from the 1920s through the 1950s. Led by Mia Fineman, Curator, Metropolitan Museum of Art
