Kirkland Arts Center lecture series: Mad Men’s Women of Pop

Published 2:55 pm Wednesday, October 22, 2014

The Arts and Culture Lecture Series will look back at the culture of the early 1960s and the stereotypes of women before the Women’s Liberation Movement at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 at the Kirkland Arts Center.

The discussion will explore the work of four pop artists: Andy Warhol, Mel Ramos, Roy Lichtenstein and Tom Wesselmann.

In that context, the group will analyze their representations of women. How did their images perpetuate the stereotypes? Were they just recreating what was already there, were they reacting to it or was their intent totally different?

The event is $10 at the door and preregistration is encouraged.
