Age: Wide Angle: Becoming Truly Marvelous: Artists' Later Years March 30, 2010

In 1834, at the age of 74, Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai wrote that he produced nothing significant before the age of 70. Hokusai estimates that by the age of 110, he will have become "truly marvelous.” Kaywin Feldman, Director of Minneapolis Institute of Arts, will examine the style, technique, subject matter and circumstances of works created by artists working in their later years.

Held every Tuesday evening in February and March, the Age: Wide Angle lecture series offers a fresh perspective on the topic of age and aging by prominent arts leaders who will explore the role age plays in their field of expertise or their own artistic lives.

Held at the Central Library in Pohlad Hall (300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN 55401), the programs are free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served. Doors open at 6:15 and programs begin at 7 PM.

Age: Wide Angle is co-presented by Mill City Commons and the Library Foundation of Hennepin County, and made possible by the generous support of our sponsors: Target, Gentle Transitions, AgeWell, and Gittleman Management.
