- Description
- Episode Description
- Dr. Preston discusses the influence on art of the 20th Century - an age of great scientific progress. He also shows the influences of science and the contributions of psychology, physics, mathematics, and even science fiction. His easel demonstration illustrates both the positive and the negative aspects of the scientific influence on our modern American art. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
- Series Description
- This sequel to "The Arts Around Us" will deal with modern American art in all its diversity - concentrating on such broad areas as expressionism, realism, classicism, influence of science, and sources of 20th Century American Art. Dr. Malcolm Preston, chairman of the Hofstra College department of art, is the featured narrator and demonstrates many of his lecture points at the easel during these thirteen half-hour episodes, which were originally recorded on kinescope. He uses many originals and prints from contemporary American painters as visual aids and a number of internationally known American artists will appear as guests through out the series. "American Art Today" was produced for the Center by Hofstra College in cooperation with WOR-TV. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
