Join us on Friday, June 12 at 6:30 PM at the Willits Center for the Arts for an engaging lecture on three defining voices of 20th-century American art—Edward Hopper, Grant Wood, and Thomas Hart Benton. This presentation explores how each artist developed a distinct visual language to interpret the American experience during a time of profound social and cultural transformation.
Through major works and thoughtful analysis, the lecture examines Hopper’s quiet, introspective urban scenes, Wood’s carefully structured rural imagery, and Benton’s dynamic, narrative-driven compositions. Together, they offer contrasting yet complementary perspectives on identity, place, and modern life in the United States.
Designed for a broad audience, this Art Talk provides historical context and visual insight, offering a deeper understanding of how these artists helped shape the visual culture of America.
