Is there a distinctive quality to paintings made by women? Looking at works by both men and women of the same subject, painted at the same periods of history, we will have the opportunity to ponder on what it is to experience the world through a woman’s eyes. This is guaranteed to surprise as so many fabulous women painters are still relatively little-known today. Guaranteed to be of interest to the male members of the audience as well!
