Fenimore Art Museum Presents Lecture – John Singer Sargent Paints M. Carey Thomas’s PortraitAugust 6, 2010 - A Woman in Sargent's World COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - The Fenimore Art Museum is pleased to welcome Dr. Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz for a lecture titled A Woman in Sargent's World: John Singer Sargent Paints M. Carey Thomas's Portrait. This afternoon lecture will take place Saturday, August 14 at 3:00 p.m. in the Fenimore Art Museum auditorium. The lecture will take a closer look at Sargent's 1899 portrait of the Bryn Mawr College President, M. Carey Thomas. It will consider some key historical questions such as: what can a portrait reveal that written documents obscure, what can a portrait miss, and how can a portrait hinder or foster a subject's reputation? Dr. Horowitz is the Sydenham Clark Parsons Professor, Emerita, of American Studies and History at Smith College. She is also a major contributor to the Fenimore Art Museum's catalog on the exhibition John Singer Sargent: Portraits in Praise of Women. The lecture is free with paid admission to the Museum. NYSHA members are also free. For more information, please call (607) 547-1453 or visit FenimoreArtMuseum.org.
