Do you have a favorite passage from Robert Henri's The Art Spirit? Share it with us.
Come to the gallery for a free talk with Peter Osborne, director of the Robert Henri Museum and Art Gallery, who will be joining us from Henri’s childhood home in Cozad, Nebraska. Learn intimate details about the larger-than-life artist who taught at the Art Students League in the early 1900s, forming the Ashcan School movement of New York painters.
