Program Description
Dutch painter Willem de Kooning (1904-1997) painted in a style that came to be referred to as abstract expressionism or "action painting", and was part of a group of artists that came to be known as the New York School. He struggled for decades to make a name for himself and was frustrated by the success that Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) garnered in the Abstract Expressionist Movement. Which of the two artists would critics and patrons put forward as their favorite?
Baila Miller presents college level courses that explore the role of literature, paintings, architecture, sculpture, cinema, photography, as well as, orchestral and operatic influences in the development of European, Jewish, and modern American culture.
Seating is limited to 70 attendees on a first come, first seated basis. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to program start.
