“It will be my own or nothing”: Reclaiming the Legacy of Blanche Lazzell with Kristina Olson

Join us for a talk with Kristina Olson about the research she conducted on Blanche Lazzell in collaboration with several colleagues. Olson will discuss Lazzell’s work in the broader context of European modernism and her integral role in developing American cubism. Enjoy the lecture and then head over to the galleries to see Lazzell’s work for yourself! This event is free and open to all.
