Making Sense of Abstract Art

with Kim-Ly Moynihan, Ph.D.

When and why did artists decide that art no longer had to represent the visible world?

emergence of abstract art and how it changed the way we see and experience art.

No previous art history experience is needed. Whether you’re an artist, art lover,
or simply curious, come discover the artists, ideas, and movements that transformed
the visual world.

This lecture complements The Art Guild’s upcoming exhibition,
