Distinguished Lecture Series: Robert Henri's California Portraits
704 Pier View Way, Oceanside, 92054
Cost: Free - $10
Dr. Derrick Cartwright, Director of University Galleries and Professor of Practice in the Department of Art, Architecture, and Art History at the University of San Diego, will speak on the great American realist Robert Henri who, though best known for his gritty views of New York and his poignant images of urban dwellers, painted portraits of working San Diegans to members of Los Angeles’s elite society.
The lecture is entitled “Robert Henri’s California Portraits.” He will explore the lasting significance of this work to our understanding of modernism and some of the less well-understood reasons for Henri’s continued interest in California as a place.
