"Special Lecture: The Bay Area Figurative Movement"

Time: 2:30 p.m.
Location: Guzman Lecture Hall
Cost: $25 (Registration includes admission for one optional guest)
Admission: Registration is required

Join us on campus for a special guest presentation by Dr. Wood Lockhart exploring the history and impact of the Bay Area Figurative Movement in art. This is a one-time, standalone lecture, and registration is required.

*The cost of the lecture is $25, and you may bring a guest along for free.

Between 1950 and 1965 the Bay Area Figurative movement, which grew out of and in reaction to Abstract Expressionism, was a local phenomenon which is recognized today as making an important contribution to the history of modern American art. It is a subject which is a particular passion of Wood's, and one which he thinks will be of particular interest to OLLI members and art lovers.
