SUMMARY:ArtBreak: The Art and Life of Hughie Lee-Smith
DESCRIPTION:Hughie Lee-Smith was a 20th century African American painter and art instructor. Growing up in the Midwest\, he created a prolific collection of paintings that predominantly featured figures in urban and rural settings. Lee-Smith’s often enigmatic works explored themes of isolation\, expectation\, and loneliness. Regrettably\, he was not as well recognized as many of his contemporaries. During this ArtBreak talk\, learn more about this remarkable artist with KIA docent Dr. Sam Grossman\, then visit our lower level galleries to view Lee-Smith’s The Spectators. \nDr. Sam Grossman is a long-time docent of the KIA. He also is a frequent instructor with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute\, teaching a variety of topics. Sam is a retired pediatrician; prior to medical school\, he was an associate professor of theatre arts.
