The Fabulous Mrs. Havemeyer
Tuesday, December 8, 4:00pmDuring a family trip to Paris in 1875, Louisine Elder bought her first work of art—a pastel of ballet dancers, done by Edgar Degas. She was twenty years old, and though she thought the painting was “strange,” she borrowed money from her sisters to cover the dealer’s asking price of about $100 dollars. It was Mary Cassatt, an American painter living in Paris, who had introduced Elder to Degas’s works and who would encourage her to continue to purchase the most innovative contemporary art. Over the next decades, Louisine and her husband, Henry O. Havemeyer, went on to create one of the finest art collections in America.
Join us online as Jane Roos tells about the lives of the Havemeyers and explores their acquisition of iconic paintings by Degas, Cassatt, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, among those of many other artists. The talk will conclude with an account of Louisine's feisty suffragist years and of the extraordinary bequest she left to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
After receiving her Ph.D. in Art History from Columbia University, Jane M. Roos spent her career as a Professor at Hunter College and The Graduate Center of CUNY and in Christie’s Master’s Program. Her specialty has been 19th-Century French and American art—subjects on which she has published and lectured widely.
