SUMMARY:Lecture: American Art at the Crossroads: WPA Realism to Postwar Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:On February 26\, art historian Viviana Bucarelli\, PhD\, will present a lecture in conjunction with the exhibition For Which It Stands…\, exploring the turn from realism to abstraction in American art. This forms part of the Museum’s Lehman Lecture Series\, funded by the Robert Lehman Foundation. Her talk will also be livestreamed. \nAbout the Exhibition: This exhibition examines depictions of the American flag through 70+ works by a diverse group of artists\, beginning during WWI with Childe Hassam’s Italian Day\, May 1918 and continuing to the present day\, including a textile sculpture commissioned for the show from Maria de Los Angeles. The exhibition includes work in a variety of media by artists including Jasper Johns\, Faith Ringgold\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Shepard Fairey\, and Julie Mehretu\, and challenges viewers to consider who the American flag truly represents and whether justice is available to all. \nFor Which it Stands… forms part of America250: The Promise and Paradox\, an initiative through which Fairfield University Explores 250 Years of the American Experiment.  \nImage: Grant Wood\, The Mightnight Ride of Paul Revere (detail)\, 1931\, oil on masonite. © Figge Art Museum\, successors to the Estate of Nan Wood Graham/Licensed by VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS)\, NY
