Mark Pohlad, associate professor of Art History at DePaul University, will examine the image of Abraham Lincoln in photography, sculpture, and paintings—both old and new, during “Abraham Lincoln in American Art,” at 7 p.m., on August 10. Pohlad will look at photographs by Mathew Brady, sculptures by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and paintings by contemporary artists such as Ed Paschke. The program promises to be a lively multimedia mix of history, art, and Lincoln’s biography and is being offered in conjunction with Batavia’s Art in Your Eye Fine Arts Festival, August 14-16.
