Gregory Gilbert Talk: Federal Art in the Midwest in the 1930s
4 - 5 pm
Whitcomb Art Center, Lecture Hall, Room 213
"Federal Art in the Midwest in the 1930s and the Meeting of Rural and Urban Cultures: A Challenge to Grant Wood's 'Revolt Against the City'"
This talk examines the historical complexities and ironies of Grant Wood's endorsement of the federal Public Works of Art Project in the 1930s as an advocate for a flourishing Regionalist art movement. In actuality, many of the New Deal's agricultural programs resulted in the increased dominance of modern economic and industrial forces in the rural Midwest, threatening the autonomous regionalism championed by Wood and other artists of the American Scene.
These issues will be considered through the imagery of New Deal murals, which sought to encourage a sense of social unity and financial recovery through a joining of rural and urban economies. In addition, Wood's revolt against the influx of urban culture and industrialization will be analyzed through the symbolic narratives of his own Regionalist artworks.
Refreshments will be provided.
Milk Route, A Reading Series
4:30 - 6 pm
306 E. Simmons | The Space
Milk Route is the English Department’s student reading series held on occasional late afternoons throughout the year. An homage to Carl Sandburg, who at the age of thirteen left school to get a job driving a milk wagon so that he could assist in supporting his family, Milk Route honors the transitional period in which our senior writing majors may find themselves. While finishing their studies at Knox, they also are beginning their lives as adults, discovering new experiences in jobs, graduate programs and cities of residence. All the while, too, they are still making room to make their art.
Students and faculty gather for these formal readings, which offer senior writing majors an opportunity to share from their own work.
