Floral Orchestration: Joseph Stella's Tree of My Life
Thursday, December 17 / 2pm
Glenn Tomlinson, William Randolph Hearst Curator of Education
Although Joseph Stella is not as well-known as his contemporaries Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin or Edward Hopper, his visually arresting painting Tree of My Life (1919-1920), embodies the most advanced ideas in modern painting, as well as the artist’s great ambition. Join Glenn Tomlinson, William Randolph Hearst Curator of Education, for a conversation that explores the painting, on loan from Art Bridges, and its relation to Stella’s more famous images of the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island.
Art Bridges is the vision of arts patron Alice Walton. Since 2017, Art Bridges has been creating and supporting programs that expand access to American art in all regions across the nation. The Norton Museum of Art currently features four works on loan from Art Bridges including works by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Arshile Gorky, David Smith and Joseph Stella.
