Description
Docent Lola Johnson leads this insightful tour exploring how changing ideals of beauty and fashion have been reflected—and reinforced—through centuries of art. Moving from medieval portraiture to modern representation, this tour examines how clothes, cosmetics, body image, and social expectations are encoded into artistic depictions, and what they reveal about their time.
Engaging for art lovers interested in culture, gender, and the stories our appearances tell.
