Modernism in America: WPA Art & Architecture of the Red, White & Blue
May 28, 2026 1:30 pm EST
Step into a transformative era of American creativity, where art, architecture, and national identity converged during times of challenge and change. In this dynamic 45-minute presentation, artist and lecturer Sharon Koskoff explores the powerful visual language of American Modernism—from the grandeur of the Gilded Age to the bold geometry of Art Deco, and the socially driven murals of the WPA era.
Discover how government-sponsored programs brought art to the public, turning post offices, schools, and civic buildings into canvases that told the story of America. Learn how these works reflected the hopes, struggles, and diversity of a nation redefining itself.
The lecture also weaves in Sharon’s own original American-inspired artwork, offering a contemporary perspective rooted in historic tradition.
Perfect for art enthusiasts, history lovers, and anyone curious about the intersection of culture and identity, this Zoom presentation celebrates the enduring spirit of the Red, White & Blue through art.
