Exploring the Four Freedoms
October 23, 2020 @ 7:00 pm
Friday, October, 23, 2020 – 7pm
Price: $10 (Virtual Program + Exclusive Q&A)
FREE (Live Web Stream)
Join three Imagining Freedom catalogue authors – outstanding scholars who will bring little known aspects of the Four Freedoms and Rockwell’s famed paintings into view. What did these stand for in their time? How did they shape perception and generate support for the war effort? Who were they speaking to and who was left out? What do they mean to us today? Commentators include D.B. Dowd, Professor of Art and American Culture Studies, Washington University in St. Louis; James McCabe, Chief Collections Manager, Henry Ford Museum; and others.
About this Series:
Join illustrators, authors, and scholars for this series of programs in conversation about historical and contemporary notions of freedom, and the role of imagery to shape public perception, decision-making, and cultural narratives. Each event will explore a different aspect of aspirational ideals that Americans continue to work towards within the framework of democracy. Enjoy one program or participate in them all!
