432. VISIONS OF NEW YORK

Chris Parrott via Zoom

New York City has been a muse to many generations of artists; the energy, architecture, and diversity of the city has inspired countless works in a wide variety of mediums. This two-day course will explore a range of iconic and lesser-known works by artists such as Piet Mondrian, Georgia O’Keefe, Edward Hopper, Cindy Sherman, Robert Longo, and many more. Although each artist’s vision of New York may be distinct, the goal of these lectures will be to illuminate consistent themes among these works inspired by - and in many cases contributing to - the mythology surrounding this hub of artistic innovation.
