Wendy Evans, art historian will speak on American Art. Explore how art tells the story of our nation from optimism and humor to struggle and pain. Images will range from realistic paintings of John Singleton Copley to modern abstractions by Jackson Pollock, from the innocent America captured by Norman Rockwell in his early work to the struggles of black Americans seen in his late paintings, and from inspiring views of unspoiled country by Thomas Cole to the lonely cities of Edward Hopper.
