@ Reynolda House Museum of American Art
>> Forsyth County Library presents Tripp Evans 
Grant Wood’s biographer R. Tripp Evans has identified Reynolda House’s “Spring Turning” as “arguably the most erotically charged landscape Wood ever painted.” Evans places the work in a painting tradition that associates the pastoral scenes of springtime with the youthful male body. In this lecture, Evans will reveal aspects of Wood’s highly guarded life, camouflaged by a folksy persona, a protective family, and farmer’s overalls. A light reception will follow outdoors. Evans is the Mary L. Heuser Chair in the Arts at Wheaton College in Massachusetts. His biography, Grant Wood: A Life, won the 2010 National Award for Arts Writing. This event is part of the On the Same Page series, hosted by the Forsyth County Public Library, Winston-Salem.
(2p – 3p // FREEEE!)

Make an afternoon of it. While there, be sure to see Grant Wood’s work in real life. Find exhibit details here.
