This art talk will present an overview of post-World War II paintings, focusing on the revival of figurative art starting in the 1950s as a response to the increasingly narrow parameters of modernist abstraction and a desire to reintroduce human experience back into "serious" art. Join the discussion and weigh in on artists Larry Rivers, Alice Neel, Lucian Freud, Kerry James Marshall and Jennifer Packer, among others.
