This two-part lecture program taught by teaching fellow Elizabeth Buhe provides context and background to enrich independent exploration of the Whitney’s spring and summer exhibitions Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney’s Collection, Stuart Davis: In Full Swing, and Danny Lyon: Message to the Future. Buhe will explore the ways artists and their communities have interacted with the urban environment during the early and mid-twentieth century.
