Art and Revolution

Powell Library Rotunda
Admission free; no reservations required

Out of a desire to allow student artists to express their own ideas in a place of tolerance and acceptance, the Art History Undergraduate Student Association presents its annual art exhibit entitled “Art and Revolution,” exploring Paul Gauguin’s statement that “art is either plagiarism or revolution.” Specific concerns of the artists are addressed in a thought-provoking way that challenges the viewer to not only think about these issues but also raises the question, what does revolution mean to you?
