Understanding Modern Art

Breaking Down Barriers: Understanding Modern Art

Modern art, with its complex themes and symbolism, is a pleasure to view, but it can also be intimidating and difficult to understand. This lecture will explore modern art and trace its history from the Barbizon School and Realist movements of the mid 19th century to the 1980s when artistic giants Warhol and Basquiat were at their height.

Come and learn how to interpret these modern masterpieces. Mollie Clarke, Lyman Allyn Art Museum  Director of Education, will present an hour-long lecture about understanding modern art. A question and answer session will follow the powerpoint presentation.
