Avant-garde art lectures throughout October at CLMA

Wendy Slatkin, a lecturer at Cal Poly Pomona College of Environmental Design, leads three free and open the public 6 p.m. lectures on select Thursdays this month at Claremont Lewis Museum of Art, 200 W. First St.

The series, “Revolutions & Revelations: Avant-Garde Art of the 20th Century,” follows the museum’s summer series “with an examination of key movements and individual artists who influenced the history of Post-World War II avant-garde art,” a news release read.

The October 10 lecture is “1945-1959: Abstract Expressionism, Ninth Street Women, Color Field, Pop Art, Gutai, Gorky, Pollock, Krasner, Frankenthaler, Johns, Rauschenberg;” the October 17 session is “1960s’: West-Coast Hard Edge, Assemblage, Fluxus, Minimalism, Eccentric Abstraction, Benjamin, Louis, Warhol, Kienholz, Hesse, Saint Phalle;” and the final October 24 installment is “1970s’: Pomona College, Earth Works, Conceptual Art, Performance, Feminism, Hamrol, Smithson, Haacke, Burden, Chicago, Mendieta, Sherman.”
