A departure from Abstract Expressionism occurred on both Cape Cod and the Bay Area simultaneously from 1950 to 1970. For this lecture/discussion, Shabott will present Cape Cod figurative expressionists Robert Henry, Selina Trieff, Jan Mueller, Robert Beauchamp, and others. She will also present the work of David Parks, Joan Brown, Manuel Neri, Nathan Oliveira, and others from the Bay Area. A discussion about comparing and contrasting these coastal art movements will be fascinating.

Everyone is welcome. Non-Member ticket includes Museum admission for the day of the event.
