"Imagining America"
features archival interviews with artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe,
Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, Marcel Duchamp, Andy
Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquait, and new interviews with artists and art
historians including Ed Ruscha, Wanda Corn, Jonathan Fineberg and Grace
Hartigan.
By examining the lives and work of some of these seminal artists,
Imagining America illuminates the evolution of 20th-century American
art, from pictorial explorations of our vast natural and industrial
landscapes, to abstract depictions of our collective psyches, to complex
explorations of lives lived in a noisy barrage of visual, aural,
technical and cultural data. It traces how art, over the course of the
century, provided a place in which to re-imagine America, to visualize
what we were and what we felt about our country, our society and
ourselves. (2 hours)
