Heather Campbell Coyle, Curator of American Art at the Delaware Art Museum, will explore Jazz Age Illustration, the Museum’s major fall show and the first exhibition to survey the art of illustration in the 1920s and ’30s. Dr. Coyle has been working on this project for five years, and she will share some of her favorite research discoveries and behind-the-scenes stories in this illustrated lecture.
The lecture is hosted by the University of Delaware’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of Kent and Sussex Counties, and is open to both OLLI members and the public. Space is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
