Pop Life: Warhol and the Culture of Visibility, Part One
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Allison Leigh, Associate Professor of Art History at UL Lafayette, as she explores the enduring influence of Pop art icon Andy Warhol — from his role as one of the first influencers to the voyeuristic nature of his life and studio practice. The discussion will examine how Warhol’s fascination with celebrity, image-making, and observation foreshadowed many of the themes in our lives today.
Dr. Allison Leigh is an Associate Professor of Art History and the SLEMCO/LEQSF Regents Endowed Professor in Art & Architecture at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She also is a published author of BURN THE LAST ONE: Misogyny and Modern Art from Delacroix to Picasso.
Members, UL students, faculty and staff are free; Public entrance with museum admission.
Summer programming is presented by Dr. Jay Culotta and Kiki Frayard.
