This presentation will consider the challenges of being a woman artist in modern America, providing context for the compelling art and fascinating career of Josephine Nivison Hopper. Like many of her fellow women artists, Hopper prioritized her family over her career, producing less significant work as a result. Nevertheless, early examples of her paintings such as those she produced on Cape Ann demonstrate how talented she was. During the summer of 1923 in Gloucester, before she married Edward Hopper, the two worked side by side, inspiring each other and together evolving a distinctive way to depict the region’s landscape.  


With Ellen Roberts, Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati.
