WOW presents: American Abstraction at Midcentury
Wednesday, December 8, 2021, 2:00 - 3:00 PM | ZOOM
Popular art lecturer Avril Angevine returns with a new talk about American abstraction. In the post-war years, America was flexing its cultural muscles, responding to the triumphs as well as the tragedies of World War II, and in this moment, New York displaces Paris as the art center of the western world. This lecture will focus on emotion-filled and formally inventive works from Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, Franz Kline, Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam and many more.
This program is presented by the Friends of the Lafayette Library.
