The Morgan Gallery is pleased to be exhibiting the work of Linda Stein with feminist highlights from her thirty year obsession. In her essay, Stein explores the many artistic avenues she took over these decades, showing us the face in a way it has never been seen before. We are proud that Linda Stein has agreed to leave Smith College her collection of personal papers, including her diaries filled with sketches and notations.
