Museum Trip with Catherine

Join UHP Program Officer Catherine on a strangely enlightening journey with a personal tour of “The Art of Romaine Brooks” at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Brooks was an American ex-patriot painter and a member of the Parisian counterculture of the early 20th century. Brooke’s portraits capture in muted colors and lively brushstrokes the unconventional lives and identities of her circle of friends.
