Martin Johnson Heade: A Strange Art Life Brought Up To Date

Presented in conjunction with Cross Pollination: Heade, Cole, Church, and Our Contemporary Moment, this virtual lecture will focus on what Dr. Theodore E. Stebbins calls Martin Johnson Heade’s “topsy-turvy career.” During the presentation, Dr. Stebbins will provide a glimpse at some of his own changing thoughts on the painter, the circumstances of Heade’s rediscovery in 1943, and the way Heade’s reputation has continued to grow.
