- Description
- Episode Description
- Romanticism is the beginning of expressionism. Dr. Preston traces the romantic mode through the American art of today and uses examples from the work of Mangranite, Kuniyoski, Preston and Karfial. Again he demonstrates his lecture points at the easel - presenting the romantic mode in contrast to his earlier demonstrations. (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)
