Recently I have been watching the video lectures in "Sexing the Canvas: Art and Gender" by the University of Melbourne, via Coursera. A bit dry, but interesting to me, as a someone with little formal education in art. Of particular note (so far) are the discussions of Henri Rousseau's "The Dream" and "The Gypsy" and his presentations of women in active, rather than passive, roles.
