Details

Amalia Kussner, famed Gilded Age artist, gained notoriety for her miniature paintings of social elites in the 1890s, particularly women using a provocative style evoking mythical appearances uncharacteristic of the time. Despite her accomplishments, her life was mired by scandals that overshadowed her success. In this book talk, Kathleen Langone, Amalia’s biographer, will “paint” the miniaturist painter of the Gilded Age and discuss her life from her beginnings in Terra Haute all the way to the parlors of the New York elite. Event is included with paid admission.
