Grand Rapids Art Museum presents the third installation of the GRAM/Ox-Bow Friday Lecture Series, featuring John Corbett's Ox-Bow: Now and Then.
The lecture will take place at 1:30 p.m. in the Museum's Cook Auditorium on Friday, July 23, 2010.
Description of the lecture:
With attention to stylistic continuities and contrasts, notions of community and isolation, and the persistence of an urban/rural dialectic, John Corbett will discuss the work of eight figures associated with Ox-Bow, four of them emerging during the modernist ethos of mid-20th century American art – Isobel Steele MacKinnon, Max Kahn, Eleanor Coen, Frank Vavruska – and four of very recent origin – Joel Dean, Isak Applin, Rachel Niffenegger, Carmen Price.
