CAM's
Fall Lecture Series continues on November 19 featuring Art Historian
Anne Sobbota. The illustrated lecture is titled
“Form and Fragment: the Purposeful Language of Visual Art” and is an intimate visual and philosophic journey into works from the 15th through 21st century Western culture. This lecture is focused around the premise: "The artist is reflector, predictor and definer of cultural change". Using the
Classical Greek form and ideals as the standard for comparison she will examine transitions in artistic representation of the human form and environment, then analyze the way in which these transitions reflect cultural sentiments, stresses and impending changes in historic trends. Ultimately, her talk will lead us to ask a contemporary version of Paul Gauguin's question, "...Where Are We Going?" and perhaps even to draw a few predictions.
Anne is a graduate of California State University, Los Angeles with a
Master's Degree in Art History and an emphasis on the development of photography. She taught high school art, photography and television production in Corona, California for 10 years. Sobbota also taught art history as an Adjunct Professor at Pasadena Community College and at Glendale Community College.
The lecture will be held in the museum’s Uno E Richter Atrium Gallery on
Thursday November 19 at 7pm. General admission is $5 (free for museum members). CAM asks that you pre-register by calling 267-4877.
