Daily, Now - Nov 09, 2025. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
While “Old Master” paintings were largely created by men for men, Elise Ansel disrupts this viewpoint by creating feminist translations in oil paint. By employing the open-ended visual languages of color and abstraction, she creates new ways of looking and engaging for modern viewers. As a fellow, Ansel deploys this framework to reinterpret Henry Fuseli’s Macbeth Consulting the Vision of the Armed Head (1793), held in the Folger collection.
