The Department of Art & Art History and Department of Theatre Present Artemisia
Artemisia, By Lauren Gunderson. Directed by Assistant Professor Kelley Schoger.
Artemisia Gentileschi was the most celebrated female painter of the 17th century, yet her name was all but lost for centuries. Attacked at just 17, publicly shamed and tortured to prove her truth, Gentileschi’s painterly prowess equaled the men of her time, and she fought to make art on her own terms. Contending with her father’s vision for her, consumed with passion for her lover and ferociously devoted to her children, Artemisia is a woman ahead of her time. Gunderson is one of our most exciting contemporary playwrights, whose work of humor and warmth celebrates the courage, artistry and humanity of a woman who attacked the glass ceiling with every brush stroke.
