Gallery Talk

This event was recorded. Please view the talk on our Vimeo or Youtube channel.

A close look at a group of bold watercolors by Zelda Fitzgerald confirms her originality, talent, and wit as an artist. Known to her contemporaries as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s temperamental wife, Zelda was a creative force in her own right.

Led by:
Joachim Homann, Maida and George Abrams Curator of Drawings, Division of European and American Art
