Monika Lind Talk: Berthe, Morisot, Mary Cassatt and the Impressionists

Monika Lind is coming to the Museum & Art Gallery on Thursday 18 February 2027 for a talk on Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, two of the women who helped shape Impressionism. It runs from 14:00 to 16:00, so it's a proper two-hour session rather than a quick chat.

The talk looks at how Morisot and Cassatt worked in an era dominated by men, carving out their own careers and bringing a different perspective to the movement. They both focused on women's lives and everyday domestic scenes, and they each developed a style that was entirely their own. If you've mostly thought of Impressionism in terms of Monet or Renoir, this is a good way to see the side of the movement that often gets left out of the conversation.

Monika Lind is a retired university lecturer in Culture and Humanities Studies, and she's known for making art, history and culture accessible. This isn't her first go at the subject either; she's previously given an art-history talk called Women Of The Dutch Golden Age, so she's well-versed in looking at the women artists who worked within the constraints of their time.

The session follows the museum's Autumn Lectures series, which was run by curator James Sainsbury and focused on local history and archaeology. It's aimed at ages 16 and over. Tickets start from £10.75, with a £0.75 transaction fee on top, and the talk runs from 14:00 to 16:00 at the Museum & Art Gallery in Worthing Civic Quarter.
