Florine Stettheimer remains one of New York’s most unconventional painters, Florine Stettheimer was a keen and
opinionated observer of the people and rapidly changing world around her. Her famous salon,
attended by New York’s avant-garde during the 1920s through the early ’40s, was legendary.
She prophetically chose to portray subjects considered controversial even today, such as race,
sexual orientation, gender, and religion. Come and hear about the unique life of this German-
Jewish artist and see some of her most celebrated works. It is time to recognize Florine
Stettheimer as one of the most significant artists of the 20 th  century, whose work remains as
modern and relevant today as it was a century ago.
