Dr. Jody Patterson, Professor and Roy Lichtenstein Foundation Chair of Art History, will present her research at the Slate Valley Museum in Granville, New York, as part of a series connected to the museum's new exhibition, "One Painting, Many Stories: Exploring the Legacy and Context of a Slate Valley WPA Mural." The series focuses on Martha Levy's 1939 work, "Men Working in Slate Quarry." Professor Patterson's talk will address the the relationship between large-scale public murals and everyday life during the Great Depression's decade of social, political, and economic crisis.
