Over and Under the Surface: Painting in Community

Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Amy Rahn, Associate Professor of Art History at University of Maine at Augusta and Director of the Charles Danforth Gallery.

In Gisela McDaniel’s work, her close ties to community are right on the surface, with the artist’s chosen subjects, their donated artifacts, and their voices meeting the viewer on and in front of the paintings. Beginning with this clear and generous declaration of community, Dr. Amy Rahn’s talk connects these collaborative paintings to new approaches to art history that can reorient our understanding of artistic influence to the deep social ties that support and inspire artists in their studios.
