LECTURE & DISCUSSION

Continuing towards the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, we continue to look at the artists and the artworks which shaped this nation. Beginning in the aftermath of the Civil War and continuing into the early twentieth century, this lecture examines how American art evolved alongside industrialization, immigration, urban growth, and cultural change. From the realism of the Gilded Age and the landscapes of westward expansion to the innovations of the Ashcan School and early modernism, the presentation explores how artists captured both the promise and tensions of a rapidly changing nation. Framed through the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, the lecture considers how art documented the country’s transformation into the 20th and 21st centuries.
