The papers of noted Welsh-born feminist
painter Sylvia Sleigh (1916-2010) document her life, career, and the larger context of
contemporary feminist art, with the bulk of the collection dating from 1940-2000. Sleigh, a
realist painter, moved to the United States in 1961 with her husband, art critic Lawrence
Alloway. Sleigh's paintings of nude males in traditional odalisque poses remain her
best-known works. She was a central figure in the New York City area feminist art movement
of the 1970s.
