ABOUT THE EVENT

American Realism: Finding New Truths in Ordinary Things

 — 

Join Museum Docent Jackie Fastaia for an in-depth discussion focused around how early-20th-century Realists expanded the concept of what constituted art and revolutionized painting by reinventing what is real. Fastaia will explore works by "The Eight" in the Museum's permanent collection and select works found in The Beyond: Georgia O'Keeffe and American Art.

Attendees will meet in the Lobby prior to the talk. Gallery stools will be available.
