Additional information

On this tour, Varya Lyapneva ’26 will explore the role of fabric in the history of painting and sculpture, looking closely at two works. They are Red and Pink (1925), a painting commissioned from Georgia O’Keeffe by the Cheney Brothers Silk Manufacturing Company; and Edgar Degas’s Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen (1880), a sculpture that radically incorporates diverse materials, including a real tulle skirt.
