Just before 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21st, make yourself comfortable and click on the link you were sent to join the Zoom presentation...then sit back and watch American Images: From Camera to Canvas. As the camera became more available to the public during the mid 1800s, photography began to affect the art world. With the Hudson River School as a starting point, we will look at how artists incorporated the use of photography in their artistic process, enabling them to create ever more dramatic paintings of a young growing America and its people, including the country’s expansion westward. ArtScapades presents three quintessential artists, Albert Bierstadt, Winslow Homer, and Thomas Eakins. To register for this lecture, send an email to clahey@norwalkpl.org and you will receive an email with a link to watch ArtScapades present American Images.
