Virtual Art Talk – Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein was an American Pop Artist. He rose to prominence in the 1960s with work inspired by popular advertising and the comic book style. Much of his work explores the relationship between fine art, advertising, and consumerism. He looked back to the artists he admired Cezanne, Mondrian, Picasso and Matisse and parodied the Abstract Expressionists. This will be a major exhibition at the Whitney in 2026.

Learn about life as a woman who followed Washington’s Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.  Wives, daughters, mothers, and single women followed their men on long marches and through cold and hungry conditions.  Many had children with them.  They worked as laundresses, cooks, and nurses.  And, yes, some were prostitutes.

Spend an hour with Mrs. Bennett and hear about life in camp, on the march, and during skirmishes and battles.  Hear why they joined the Army, how they were treated, and why they stayed.  (Presented by historian and storyteller, Patricia Wells.)
