“Art is a calling,” says Audrey Flack, internationally acclaimed painter, sculptor, and pioneer of photorealism. “There is something within the artist that has to be expressed. Every creation reveals something more about the universe and about the artist.”
Join us as the esteemed artist shares with us her experiences with Jackson Pollack, Lee Krasner, Bill and Elaine de Kooning, and Grace Hartigan, etc., her insights and excerpts from her memoir, Audrey Flack: With Darkness Came Stars. After the discussion, there will be a brief Q&A with the artist. Books will be available for purchase at the end of the event and can be signed by the author.
