The history of art is filled with stories of paintings and sculptures that ruffled feathers and riled audiences. Sometimes artists intended to make a splash and sometimes they unintentionally fell into controversy. Examine some of the biggest scandals in the art world in terms of audience reception, including works such as Donatello’s David, Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass, and Sargent’s famous Madame X. Led by art historian Jane Oneail, owner of Culturally Curious, who curates and delivers art appreciation programs to audiences throughout New England. With a Master’s in Art History from Boston University and a Master’s in Education from Harvard University, Oneail has worked at some of New Hampshire's most esteemed cultural institutions, including as Executive Director of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, and Senior Educator at the Currier Museum of Art. Oneail has also taught at the college level for more than a decade, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University.
