Workshop with Filmmakers Gustav Deutsch and Hanna Schimek

Time: Nov. 3, 2016, 3:30 p.m. - 5 p.m.

Location: Tolley 304

Viennese artists Gustav Deutsch and Hanna Schimek lead a small group discussion prior to a screening of their film Shirley: Visions of Reality (2013), based on the work and life of American painter Edward Hopper. Drawing from the lives of Hopper and his wife, painter Josephine Nivison (who was sometimes called “Shirley” when modeling for Hopper), the film intimately explores a narrative of recollections and shifting social and cultural norms in the U.S. from the 1920s to the early 1960s.  Space is limited; contact cphanson@syr.edu for availability. Include any requests for accessibility accommodations.
