Her Art, Part 4: From Muse to Maker: Women Artists Reclaim Modernism continues the lecture series dedicated to rediscovering women artists whose contributions have long been overlooked.

Hosted by Art with Tosca, this session examines a pivotal moment in early 20th-century art, when women began to move beyond their traditional roles as subjects and muses to become recognised as creators and innovators in their own right.

The lecture explores how these artists challenged dominant narratives, asserted authorship over their work, and played an active role in shaping modernism. By reframing the historical lens, the session highlights the intellectual and creative agency of women artists who helped redefine artistic production during this transformative period.

Through this exploration, the lecture contributes to a broader re-evaluation of art history, expanding the canon to include voices and practices that have too often been excluded.
