OMAA Tuesday Talk with Donna Cassidy

Description

In the first half of the twentieth century, visual artists went to the beach to define themselves as modern—by experimenting with new styles and by picturing and promoting this new social and cultural space. This talk will examine the shifting meanings of the beach and the varied ways that it functioned in early twentieth-century art as modern, both in Ogunquit and in the northeastern United States. It will draw on the many artworks in the exhibition Shifting Sands. * THIS LECTURE WILL TAKE PLACE ON ZOOM
