Feb 11, 2025
5:00PM to 6:00PM
with Kyle Mancuso, Curatorial Research Associate, High Museum of Art
Best remembered for his large-scale, Futurist-inspired paintings of the Brooklyn Bridge, Italian-born American modernist Joseph Stella was equally inspired by the natural world as seen in one of his most ambitious paintings Tree of My Life (1919). Learn how Stella's paintings and personality were deeply linked and in what way the changing Italian landscape of the 1910s and 20s complicates the understanding of the artist's experience in the country of his birth.
