A one-hour presentation spotlighting the life and work of American regionalist artist Robert Edward Weaver (1913-1991). Weaver won great acclaim after winning the Chaloner Paris Prize in 1937. This course explores Weaver's artwork that captures the drama, and pathos of his principal muse, the American circus. Images of clowns, musicians, acrobats, equestrians and ornate wagons function as an important visual record of an institution that has all but vanished. Admired by artists Edward Hopper, Manhonri Young, and Gifford Beal for their strong draftsmanship and rich colorism, they have been exhibited in many of the nation's major art museums.
