About the Event
Lecturer Stella Lyons
Location Widcombe Social Club
During the twentieth century American artists produced iconic paintings reflecting life in the changing America. To discover more, this Special Interest day will consist of three talks:
1. Grant Wood and the Regionalists
Nostalgic, mostly rural, the Regionalists told stories of everyday life in The Great Depression. But was there satire in their painting? Or even reactionary propaganda?
2. All the Lonely People: The work of American Realist Edward Hopper
