Springtime Scholars Series at The Florence Griswold Museum

  • Florence Griswold Museum 96 Lyme Street Old Lyme, CT, 06371 United States (map)

Join the Florence Griswold Museum for a virtual discussion, Self-Taught Artists, Cultural Nationalism, and Interwar Moderism.

This talk will consider how self-taught artists—both contemporary and historical—quelled longstanding anxieties about originality in American art and created a more inclusive definition of who could be an artist in the United States. This talk will consider how “gatecrashers”such as Grandma Moses and Horace Pippin paved the way for future generations of self-taught artists who continue to diversify the changing canon of American art.

Cost: $10 members, $12 non-members
