AAW Lecture and Cocktail Reception with William Cross
Attend:
| Free with registration |
*Registration is FREE for DIA members and residents of Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties.
Winslow Homer is one of the best-known and best-loved American artists, but he was an intensely private individual who left no diaries and few letters. Scholars have struggled to discover the man behind the paintings, watercolors, and prints.
Building on new facts he discovered and new interpretations he developed in his acclaimed recent biography of the artist, independent scholar William R. Cross will discuss some of the ways in which Homer’s seemingly transparent works both expressed and contributed to changing attitudes toward race, class conflict, gender roles, nature, and human nature.
Please join us before the lecture at 5:30 for a Cocktail Reception and book signing with Cross.
