Join PAFA staff and students for this series of talks on American art and culture every Wednesday at noon. Enjoy discussions and lectures with scholars and artists covering a variety of topics related to PAFA's exhibitions, collections, and areas of interest. Visitors are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch, though limited options will be available for sale outside the Auditorium doors. More than twenty years after his untimely death, Andy Warhol is still largely misunderstood. Deb Miller, an insider of the Warhol Circle and a close friend of the Warhola family, will consider Andy’s art and life within the context of art history and art criticism. She will show that while his Pop subjects, dramatic persona and renowned Factory revolutionized the art world in the 1960s, many of his themes and techniques represent modernized versions of well-established artistic traditions, and many of the criticisms of Warhol and his work by contemporary writers are nearly verbatim to those leveled against such revered Old Masters as Rembrandt and Caravaggio.
