In a patriarchal, politically-charged, and deeply divided nation, she pursues work as a poet and discovers the pleasures and pitfalls of passing as the bard himself.Gallivanting in and out of character, JUDITH is a solo show that questions identity, ambition, and self-worthJudith opens on January 5 and runs through February 18.

Picasso and His WomenPresented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) Sarasota Art Museum, Ringling College Museum Campus, 1001 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 342368 sessions: Tuesdays Jan. 9-Feb. 27, 1-2:20 pm $95 (plus $25 OLLI membership required) | 941-309-5111 • olliringlingcollege.orgThis course explores the art of Picasso through the lens of the prominent women with whom he shared his life. They were his lovers, confidantes, and muses as well as the casualties of his serial infidelities and abuse. He had a complicated relationship with each one of them; none stands above the others as an archetypal muse. Picasso, being a profoundly personal artist, took inspiration from his life to reflect directly into his artwork. As such, we will see how his style was transformed with each new relationship and how his feelings and impulses were reflected in the portraiture of these women.
