Details
Renowned for his meticulous renderings of Indiana landmarks, artist Harry A. Davis Jr. (1914-2006) inspires a devoted following among Hoosier art and architecture enthusiasts. From figurative work that captured scenes from his rural Indiana upbringing to the paintings of buildings destined for demolition, Davis has left behind a legacy of hundreds of paintings.
On June 7, Rachel Berenson Perry, fine arts curator emerita of the Indiana State Museum, presents an illustrated talk at Indiana Landmarks Center sharing the pivotal events of Davis’s life that shaped and inspired his art, offering a comprehensive picture of Harry Davis as teacher, husband, father, and artist.
Tickets to the talk cost $5/general public and are free with RSVP for Indiana Landmarks members. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with program from 6 to 7 p.m. at Indiana Landmarks Center (which is accessible to all) or online via Zoom.
The accompanying First Friday art show opening reception in Rapp Family Gallery from 6 to 9 p.m. is free and open to the public.
Presented in partnership with Herron School of Art and Design and IUPUI University Library Special Collections and Archives. This program has been made possible through a grant from Indiana Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
