MAL Book Club: "Ninth Street Women" Part I

Please join Marlene Boas and Jan Pini for the next meeting of the MAL Art and Artists Book Club! Come even if you haven't read the book! 

Note that we're back to the time of 3:00 for this month!

We will meet to discuss Part I of "Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine De Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthatler: Five Painters and the Movement that Changed Modern Art" by Mary Gabriel. 

Feel free to read the book and add to the discussion. And bring friends and snacks! A voluntary donation of $5 is requested.

Here's Amazon's synopsis:

Set amid the most turbulent social and political period of modern times, Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, wild, sometimes tragic, always exhilarating chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting -- not as muses but as artists. From their cold-water lofts, where they worked, drank, fought, and loved, these pioneers burst open the door to the art world for themselves and countless others to come.
