Get ready for the 2024-2025 season of Cinéma Art Historique! This free-admission film series is designed to explore the connections between art history and cinema. After each screening, enjoy a Q&A and discussion with Dr. Alex Rich, Executive Director and Chief Curator, about how the evening's film aligns with the histories and stories it strives to tell.
The second installment of our series, Pollock traces the tumultuous life and career of Jackson Pollock. This film not only focuses on Pollock’s emergence as a major figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement, but emphasizes the role his wife, Lee Krasner (an artist in her own right) played in nurturing his career and catapulting him into fame.
Registration is required, and space is limited. The film screening and Q&A will be held in the Polk Museum of Art's Auditorium. Registration opens approximately 90 days before the event date!
