Join us with your curiosity and come ready to share thoughts and ideas. Our final session in the series about female artists and abstraction will present the work of Irene Rice Pereira, whose crowded and often industrial looking compositions defied expectations about what female painters should depict during the first half of the XX century.
An acute observer and learner who channeled the most avant garde movements of her time Pereira experimented with form and medium to create striking and intricate artworks.
