George Tooker: Modern Life and Magical Realism

June 1st, 2023 · No Comments · Art Room, City Library, Culturally Curious Art Series, Events, Main Branch, Virtual Programs

Join the Manchester City Library on June 29, 2023, from 7-8 pm via Zoom for the third installment of our Culturally Curious Art Series! This wildly popular art series, presented by Jane Oneail, is back for the second year with a fantastic array of topics including popular artists and local art.

George Tooker often depicted the tensions of modern life and inhuman bureaucracies. As a gay man, active in the Civil Rights movement, Tooker explored boundary-breaking subjects in his work while also conjuring powerful scenes of quiet beauty. This program provides an introduction to the artist, his life, and his remarkable body of work.

Jane Oneail curates and delivers art appreciation programs to audiences throughout New England and beyond. Jane holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University.
