To many, modern art means post-1940s abstraction. Yet American modernism got its start decades earlier and took several forms.

The symposium explores modernism as expressed in American painting and design from 1900 to 1930. Free registration is required, and includes free round-trip transportation between Chicago and Milwaukee for the June 20 programming.
