Guest Lecturer Mina Rieur Weiner on E. H. Blashfield
Today we enjoyed a great lecutre and slide show about Edwin Howland Blashfield (1848–1936) who rose to prominence as a muralist during the “American Renaissance,” the period between the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition and the United States’ entry into World War I. Blashfield’s monumental work can be viewed in courthouses, state capitols, churches, universities, museums, and other places across the United States. New scholarship highlights Blashfield’s contributions to the beauty of civic spaces and his lasting influence on public art in America.
