Coffee lectures: Gaining freedom
Stories of American art
The rise of the United States of America as a dominant economic and military power is well known. Less well known is the birth and development of art in that country, and this eight-part series will reveal this history.
There are stories of revelation, struggle and the desire for independence. There are stories of doubt and triumphant creativity.
Join lecturer Craig Judd on this intriguing journey of discovery.
