Americans on Paris's Glorious Left Bank. A lecture by David Garrard Lowe. This lively presentation will focus on that astonishing array of Americans who ventured to Parisian Quarters far from the usual tourist haunts and found inspiration and freedom. Among the fascinating personalities examined will be Richard Morris Hunt, the first American architect to attend the Ecole des Beaux-Arts; painters like Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent; and writers such as Henry James. Also featured will be those Americans in Paris during the 1920s at the time of the artistic revolution which gave birth to the movement known as Art Deco: Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, Josephine Baker, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Mr. Lowe will be introduced by Kathryn Hausman, President of the Art Deco Society of New York. A reception will follow. 115 East 74th Street. Members $30. Non-Members $35.
