AMERICAN ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM Women of Influence
A Presentation and Conversation with Phoenix Art Museum Docent Sue Robisch
Join this conversation about Abstract Expressionism in America, how it fits into the history of art, and the women who found their voice and influenced the world of art in the 20th century. Learn about their interaction with their male counterparts, their joys, their struggles, and what made each of them unique. See how their styles and techniques became expressions of their individual personalities. Their touch is broader than their works of art. Their strength continues to influence women living in the world today.

HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW
A Presentation and Conversation with Phoenix Art Museum Master Docent Sherry Koopot (back by popular demand)
What elements make a work of art “great”?
During the 1930’s, there was a renaissance of sorts in the arts in America. African American painters and sculptors, as well as writers, musicians, and actors, many of them centered in Harlem, were popular and admired. Then, almost without noticing it, they seemed to disappear. Where did they go and WHY did they seem to vanish from the public conversation? As it turns out, they were still here, but they were “Hidden in Plain View.” Join us as we “rediscover” them and attempt to solve the mystery!

THROUGH THE LENS OF EDWARD STEICHEN
A Presentation and Conversation with Phoenix Art Museum Docent Brooks Hozier
Join us as we explore the early stages of photography as an artform by looking through the lens of Edward Steichen, who was both an innovator and a master of photographic technology. Steichen’s career spanned more than eight decades in the 20th century, and his portfolio was incredibly diverse, ranging from fashion and celebrity portraits to still life’s and recording the American soldier in World War II.
