EVENT DETAILS

William Glackens’s Girl with Apple, a studio nude painted for exhibition, was unusual in the context of his own work and that of his American peers. Glackens was responding to the long tradition of daring European nudes that had culminated in Édouard Manet’s startling Olympia. But what did this work mean in the context of 1910 New York? Was this a new bohemian ideal? Or was it all about Eve?

This is a special program presented free of charge by the Sansom Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports numerous causes. Since 2001, the Foundation has held a series of scholarly lectures to celebrate and commemorate the leadership of the late C. Richard Hilker, its past President.

Dr. Teresa A. Carbone is the Andrew W. Mellon Curator of American Art and Managing Curator, Arts of the Americas and Europe at the Brooklyn Museum. She curated the major exhibition Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties (2011), and won The Alice, the inaugural publication prize awarded by Furthermore, for the accompanying catalogue. She co-curated John Singer Sargent Watercolors (2013) and is currently the co-curator of Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties.
