ART UP CLOSE!

On Wednesday November 28th I will be giving a talk at the WVU Art Museum as a part of their regular ART UP CLOSE! lecture series. The talk will include a brief history of American comics, focusing on a few of the pioneers of the medium. Using some of the work included in the My Hero! exhibition, I will also explore the complicated relationship American comics has had with contemporary art since the 1960’s and how that relationship has changed recently.
