Thursday, January 11, 2024

Explore painters from the 20th & 21st Century. Who did not pursue the path of abstraction, nor embrace photography in this lecture.

 

In this illustrated lecture, artist Raphael Hynes will look at painters of the 20th and 21st centuries who did not pursue the path of abstraction, nor embrace photography as a visual source.
