Artful Insights: Avril Angevine’s Art Lecture Series

Sun and Shadow: California Photography

Join us for an exploration of the photographers who have captured California's varied landscapes and people.

With its majestic landscapes, fascinating people, and changing culture, California has always attracted the photographic eye. But California photographers have also been pioneers of style, from early evocation of mood to midcentury documentation of reality to contemporary self-conscious art making. Among others, we’ll explore the work of Ansel Adams, Lewis Baltz, Imogen Cunningham, Dorothea Lange, the Japanese Pictorialists, Edward Weston, Larry Sultan, Anthony Hernandez, and Catherine Opie.

Avril Angevine is an arts lecturer with a particular interest in modern, contemporary, and California art. She speaks on many subjects at various locations in the Bay Area, including the OLLI programs at Cal State East Bay, Dominican College, San Francisco State, and the Fromm Institute. Avril has a BA in English and an MA in Comparative Literature from UC Berkeley and taught English and Humanities at local colleges. She is also a museum guide at SFMOMA, the Oakland Museum, and the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art.
