Your are invite to “An Hour for the Arts,” a lecture series presented by Gay Bechtelheimer. There will be a brief reception, followed by an entertaining dive into the context, characters, and culture of the art movements. Third in the schedule is a talk about artist Edward Hopper, who is widely acknowledged as the most important realist painter of 20th Century America. However, his vision of reality was a selective one derived from common features of American life and its inhabitants. His influence reaches far into our culture; inspiring artists, filmmakers, musicians, and writers. This new series of lectures for 2021 are sponsored by Ginger Lawn Care, Melinda and Michael Verdesca. • • • https://saac-arts.org/lecture/
