Thalia Gouma-Peterson, ’54, MA ’57 Thalia Gouma-Peterson, ’54, MA ’57, died on June 20, 2001. She was born in Athens, Greece, and came to the United States in 1952 as a Fulbright scholar. She received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Mills in art history and earned a doctorate in Byzantine studies from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She was Professor of Art for 32 years at the College of Wooster. As director of the College of Wooster Art Museum in the 1980s, she gained national attention by showcasing works of contemporary women artists such as Faith Ringgold, Audrey Flack, and Hung Liu. Her writings concentrated on her interests in contemporary women artists and on Byzantine art and history. Her last book, Anna Komnene and Her Times, a collection of essays about a 12th-century Byzantine princess and author, was published last year by Garland Press. Miriam Schapiro: Shaping the Fragments of Art and Life, a book about a contemporary artist, was also published recently. Dr. Gouma-Peterson is survived by her husband, Professor Carl Peterson, two sons, her mother, three grandchildren, and a brother.
