Bram Dijkstra will give lecture
As part of the Laguna Art Museum's Talk of the Town, the museum
will host a special event at 11 a.m. Sunday with Bram Dijkstra,
cultural historian and author, who will present an illustrated
lecture and sign copies of his latest book, "American Expressionism,
Art and Social Change, 1920-1950."
Dijkstra is professor emeritus of comparative literature at the UC
San Diego and the author of several books. "In "American
Expressionism" Dijkstra writes of government attempts to erase an
important American art movement that, because of its controversy,
fell victim to political censure during the McCarthy period of the
Cold War.
The book is illustrated throughout with works of art seldom seen
today.
Laguna Art Museum is at 307 Cliff Drive. For information, call
(949) 494-8971.
