Greatest Art Teacher

At the dawn of the 20th century, a revolutionary American art teacher inspired a group of women artists to break from tradition and create art that reflected their lives. Nearly a century later, a new exhibition at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art will bring together the vibrant and diverse art of this group of women artists. "Thoroughly Modern: The 'New Women' Art Students of Robert Henri" will open at the Museum of Art on Feb. 25, 2005 and will be on view through Aug. 27, 2005. This first-ever exhibition of the women art students of Robert Henri - widely regarded as the most important American art teacher of the era - will include paintings, prints, drawings and sculpture by 31 women artists who studied under Henri from the 1890s through the 1920s.
