 | | Virginia Fitzpatrick, Director of the Art Education Certification Program, Moore College of Art and Design in her "Research on Curriculum Changes at an all Women's Art College" surveyed art teacher training beginning in the 19th century, with evidence from collections at the College. |
 | | By the time she entered college, during the heyday of abstract expressionism, all her teachers were male, all her heroes (except, perhaps, DeKooning whose work she considers, along with Clemente's, 'hateful' to women.) Women artists did not sign their first names, and in the 50s, sexual harassment was simply part of a woman's art education. |
 | | Flack mentioned her work Art and Soul, used frequently by art teachers, which was based on a Robert Henri book, and then launched into a bitter reminiscence of Jackson Pollock, her personal encounter with the artist when he was at his lowest ebb. |
