This series explores the history of art in Philadelphia, from the Gilded Age to the present. Each lecture will focus on a specific topic of Philadelphia-based art: the transatlantic enterprise of the Gilded Age, the immediacy of the “Charcoal Club” led by Robert Henri ca. 1900, and the thriving artistic scene in Philadelphia today.
