About this Event
Join Robert Bunkin for an exploration of images of WORK in art, from Ancient Egypt to the 20th Century. Labor has been the subject of art almost from its inception. Hunting, building, harvesting, weaving, gendered work, child labor, unionizing, are all part of this review. Breugel, Courbet, Kollwitz and Lawrence are just a few of the artists you’ll encounter.
Robert Bunkin is a painter, curator, art historian and educator, with a BS from CUNY and an MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University. He has taught art history and studio art in several NYC art schools, universities, colleges and museums.
