Hey everyone,
This is kind of last minute, but I thought I'd post this event happening tonight that relates to some of the things we've touched on in class for anyone who's interested.
The John Nicholas Brown Center for the Public Humanities is sponsoring a screening of the film "David Hockney: The Bigger Picture" followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. The film follows Hockney’s efforts to disengage from photography and renew his painting by working for the first time outside in all weathers through the seasons – and it culminates in the largest picture ever made outdoors. It is at once the inspiring story of a homecoming and a revealing portrait of what inspires England’s most popular artist in his later years.
Monday, September 27, 7:30 pm, Smith-Buonanno 106
