Join us as Professor Emeritus Neill Slaughter presents a beautifully illustrated slide lecture which explains, among other things, how an English-born artist (Thomas Moran) helped convince Congress to declare Yellowstone our first National Park, as well as how the foremost art teacher in New York City in the late 19th century (William Merritt Chase), whose students included Robert Henri, Edward Hopper and Georgia O’Keefe, decided to inaugurate the first American plein-air painting summer school in Southampton, New York. This art history lecture, featuring two of the most famous artists of the mid to late 19th century, promises to delight and entertain us all.
