$0.00Out of stockThe Women of South Mountain Road
Thursday, November 3 at 7:00pm
Free to the Public
Reservations are required.
Maxwell Anderson, Kurt Weill, Henry Varnum Poor, Morris Kantor … All of these men who lived and worked in the mid-twentieth-century artists’ colony on South Mountain Road gained international respect and renown. But what about the gifted female artists and intellectuals who made “The Road” their home?
Susan Deeks, executive director of the Historical Society of Rockland County, introduces ten of these women—Mary Mowbray-Clarke, Ruth Reeves, Lotte Lenya, Bessie Breuer Poor, Martha Ryther, Marjorie Content, Anne Poor, Hesper Anderson, Eva Zeisel, and Lita Hornick—to explore their unique achievements and make a case for why they should have a more prominent place in the history of American arts and letters.
This program is in conjunction with The Women of South Mountain Road exhibit on view at RoCA, October 17–November 23, 2022.
The Women of South Mountain Road exhibition and related programs are made possible thanks to essential support from Kenneth Jay Linsner, in Memory of Dr. Carole Weaver-Linsner.
