\nThe Courtauld Institute of Art, Kenneth Clark Lecture Theatre
\nTicket\/entry details: \u00a312 (\u00a37 students, Courtauld staff\/students and concessions) Organised by:\u00a0Dr Natalia Murray (The Courtauld) and Louise Hardiman (University of Cambridge)<\/p>\n

In the second half of the 19th century women became dominant players in the art scene in both Britain and Russia. At the turn of 19-20 centuries women in both countries became prominent as progressive sculptors, applied artists and painters. Women\u2019s patronage of the arts was also especially strong at the time \u2013 they opened art schools and studios as well as art academies and galleries.<\/p>\n

Our conference will look at the aspects of women\u2019s artistic practice in Britain and in Russia at the fin-de-si\u00e8cle. It has been inspired by the exhibition \u2018A Russian Fairy-Tale: The Art and Craft of Elena Polenova\u2019 (Watts Gallery, 15 November 2014 – 8 February 2015), which intends to draw attention to the important role played by women in rural areas within the Arts and Crafts Movement and also as educators and agents of social change. Mary Seton Watts (1849-1938), the second wife of British artist G.F. Watts, and Elena Polenova (1850-1898), the younger sister of Russian artist Vasily Polenov, were almost exact contemporaries.\u00a0 Both women trained as painters, but became leading artists of the Arts and Crafts Movement in their respective countries. Each woman also coupled her artistic talents with a desire to bring about dramatic and lasting transformations in their local communities.<\/p>\n

Recognition of the role of women artists is long overdue, and the interesting parallels between their changing place in society will provide the opportunity for a compelling and engrossing discussion at the conference.<\/p>\n
