Identity Unknown: Rediscovering Seven American Women Artists
7:00pm
A reading, Q&A, and signing for Donna Seaman's new book, Identity Unknown. This event will include live music and refreshments. Who hasn't wondered where--aside from Georgia O'Keeffe and Frida Kahlo--all the women artists are? In many art books, they've summarily dismissed in the captions of group photographs with the phrase "identity unknown," while each male is named. Donna Seaman brings to dazzling life seven of these forgotten artists, all among the best of their day: Gertrude Abercrombie, Joan Brown, Ree Morton, Lois Mailou Jones, Lenore Tawney, Christina Ramberg, and Louise Nevelson. In brilliant, compassionate prose, Seaman reveals what drove them, how they worked, and how they were perceived by others in a world where women were assumed to be the subjects--not the makers--of art. Featuring stunning examples of the artists' work, Identity Unknown speaks to all women about their neglected place in history and the challenges they face to be taken seriously.
Donna Seaman has degrees in the fine arts and English. An editor at Booklist, she also reviews books for the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times, among others. She has published in TriQuarterly and Creative Nonfiction. Seaman created, hosted, and produced Open Books, a radio program about outstanding books and writers and the art of reading. She lives in Chicago.
