In honor of April's designation as National Gardening Month, join Dr. Christopher C. Oliver, the Bev Perdue Jennings Associate Curator of American Art, to discuss three paintings in the permanent collection.We will explore how each artist deploys themes of gardening and horticulture. Works by Charles Willson Peale, Mary Cassatt, and John Singer Sargent instill meaning into the harvest of fruit as the result of cultivation of the natural world.
Meet in Cochrane Atrium to participate.
