We have recently acquired two works by women painters of the Boston School: The Writer (c. 1912) by Mary Bradish Titcomb, and The Breakfast Tray (c. 1910) by Elizabeth Okie Paxton. These new acquisitions, along with Gretchen Rogers’s Five O’Clock (c. 1910), offer opportunities to discuss how these talented painters, who refused to be valued as only women artists, were every bit as accomplished as their male contemporaries.
