will be presenting a discussion of the lives and collections by the Cone sisters to the womens study group of the Congregation Beth Yacob in Geneva Switzerland on November 21 2018. I welcome additonal information beyond the oft repeated: how they lived on Eutaw Street, how their father and brother were involved in producing denim in North Carolina and they gave works to the colleg ein Greensboro, that they discovered Matisse and Picasso and gave thousands of important works to the Baltimore Museum of Art and were friends with Gertrude Stein. Seems to me if they had been men would would have tons of information and a deluge of tributes rather than the occasional reference. I have seen too the painting by matisse that allegedly captures their image although they are not listed by name, in the Barnes collection in Philadephia. Are there some critical thinking materials either about the antecedents for their collection or the impressive importance of their amazing collections of art? thanks in advance!
