A Masterful Dash of Abstraction – New, Truly American Art of the 1930s New Deal
Join us for a conversation with wildland conservationist and Western American Art enthusiast Carl Green as he explores a uniquely American, historically important, and aesthetically brilliant array of art that arose out of the depths of the Great Depression.
Using works from the Storytellers exhibition and the Briscoe’s permanent collection, combined with images from museums, federal buildings, and post offices across the nation, Carl will introduce you to cultural conditions that set the stage for an outpouring of intensely expressive art, homegrown in inspiration and incredibly diverse in technical style.
This event is included with museum admission and is FREE for members!
