Going Places: Women Artist Travelers in the Early 20th Century
(New York, NY) Hawthorne Fine Art is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition Going Places: Women Artist Travelers of the Early 20th Century. The exhibit will highlight American women artists who traveled throughout Europe, and the far reaches of Asia and North Africa in pursuit of their art. Featuring over 30 works by 15 artists the exhibition brings together new acquisitions and rarely before seen work by a group of intrepid women artists.
Ohio native, Alice Lolita Muth (1887-1952) will be represented with nearly a dozen works from a career that spanned four decades and three continents. Muth lived in France, and in Spain completely immersed in the culture before settling in North Africa. Vivid and animated, her work includes landscapes such as Rolling Fields, Mountain Landscape, and Countryside Villa and portraits such as Portrait de Deux Tunisiennes.
Also included is Women and Children in Anticoli, c.1908-1910, a major work by American Impressionist Martha Walter (1875-1976).

Lilla Cabot Perry’s (1848-1933) Theater Posters, Ikao, Japan, 1900 depicts colorful theater banners and architectural details before a majestic mountain landscape.
