Nancy Elizabeth Prophet

Museum members are welcome to join curatorial-led tours of Nancy Elizabeth Prophet: I Will Not Bend an Inch.

Tours will begin at 12 pm, 1 pm, and 2 pm.

Prophet (1890–1960) was one of the first known women of color to graduate from risd and her work reflects skills developed through academic training with a distinctly Modernist sensibility. The first museum survey will feature three-dimensional sculptures of marble and wood, painted wood friezes, and watercolors as well as photographic presentations of archival documents and lost or destroyed sculptures.
