Guy Wiggins, Snow on Wall Street
John Marin, Related to St Pauls
Last Tuesday evening I attended the first in a series of lectures at our library about American Modern Art. (Read that here.) Last night was the second lecture in the series. The subject was “The Modern Metropolis” and the focus was New York City. This very interesting series is an eye-opening for those of us attending about the drastic differences that emerged in the art world in the early 1900′. It’s fascinating to see the same subject matter depicted by different artists of the same time. Here is a great example: one by Guy Wiggins and the other by John Marin’s during the same time period and basically the same subject matter. What a different view! Art was taking a distinct turn!
