Eve Kahn on Mary Rogers Williams

Art historian Eve Kahn looks at the life and career of revolutionary artist Mary Rogers Williams (1857-1907).

A baker’s daughterfrom Hartford, Connecticut, Williams biked and hiked from the Arctic Circle to Naples, exhibited from Paris to Indianapolis, wrote about her travels and work, taught at Smith College for nearly two decades, but sadly, ended up almost totally obscure.

Kahn based her prize-winning book, Forever Seeing New Beauties (Wesleyan University Press, 2019) on a trove of paintings stored in a Long Island Sound boathouse. Kahn is an independent scholar specializing in art and architecture history, design, and preservation and was a weekly Antiques columnist at The New York Times, The Magazine Antiques, and Apollo magazine.

This program is presented by The National Arts Club.
