Slides, circa 1960-1995

This subseries consists of slides documenting various aspects of Parsons’ life and work. Some of the slides document exhibitions of Parsons’ work, as they are numbered in a specific order and grouped together. Some of the slides are from her travels across Europe. There is one group of slides that would have been her teaching slides, which consists of famous paintings starting in the late 13th century and persisting until the early 20th century. The teaching section has an especially large selection of Impressionism, specifically Manet, Monet, Degas, and Cassatt, as well as some very early works by Picasso. The slides of Parsons’ own work are not complete as there are occasional gaps or skips in the slide numbers.
