Mary Hallock-Greenewalt: Media Pioneer
Portrait of Mary Hallock-Greenewalt (1871-1951) by Thomas Eakins
In watching the following video about the work of Thomas Wilfred, there was mention of his contemporary Mary Hallock-Greenewalt. When you watch it, look at the way that the video treats her work as secondary. As the first comment says, she is damned with faint praise. In my role as a media student and a woman artist, I feel that this kind of slighting of women media pioneers happens far too often. And I am very interested to now be aware of the careers of such notables as Loie Fuller (thanks Shamar), Mary Hallock-Greenewalt, and Maya Deren, all of whom worked with Light in some manner. Learn about her work with color and light at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Hallock-Greenewalt
i think the entire history of art might be subject to that same criticism, both in music and the visual arts. That is why i try to feature artists like Maya Deren, Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, Laurie Spiegel and others in our seminar.
