Osher learning

Published: November 12, 2009

The Rutland Area Osher Lifelong Learning Institute’s fall lecture series is held from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Friday afternoons at the Godnick Adult Center, 1 Deer St. (off Woodstock Avenue) in Rutland.

“American Art Since 1900 – The Rise to International Dominance” continues with Russell Housman presenting “The Abstract Expressionists — New, Fresh, Exciting, Imposing, Rising astride the World of Art” on Friday. Growing out of the previous 50 years of American art movements come the Abstract Expressionists. The new New York school looms over the world of Art and a new world of art business is born and thrives today.

Housman received a doctorate from NYU, and is professor emeritus of art at SUNY Nassau.
