Through Her Eyes: The impressionist work of Anna Stanley

Through Her Eyes: The Impressionist Work of Anna Stanley On view September 5 - December 21, 2018

This fall, the Neill-Cochran House Museum will present a retrospective

exhibition of the work of the late 19th century American painter Anna

Stanley.

This unique opportunity to view Impressionist work in Austin brings

together a broad cross-section of Ms. Stanley’s work in watercolor and oil.

The exhibit will encourage the viewer to see the world through the artist’s

eyes, and to walk with her through the United States, France, Holland, and

East Asia around 1900.

Stanley, who trained at The Pennsylvania Academy of The Fine Arts in

Philadelphia and at the Academie Julian in Paris, exhibited at the Paris

Salon and in many public exhibitions in the United States from the late

1880s through the 1890s. A daughter and ultimately wife of career military officers, Stanley moved frequently, always

recording her impressions of her surroundings.

We hope you will join us this fall for a unique opportunity to consider Stanley’s works through a lecture in a relaxed

group setting over coffee, lunch, or cocktails and appetizers. Ms. Stanley’s granddaughter is available to speak with

groups when her schedule permits.

Book a group visit All options include a 20 minute presentation by Dr. Rowena Houghton Dasch, Executive Director of the

Neill-Cochran House Museum, contextualizing Stanley’s experience as an artist living during a moment in

which new opportunities began opening up for women artists.
