Remembering Hung Liu: Lecture by Dr. Hannah J. Solky

The MAG Council is pleased to present an informative program featuring MAG Docent Emeritus Dr. Hannah J. Solky, who will deliver a lecture titled “Remembering Artist Hung Liu.”

Hung Liu is the preeminent Chinese Artist in America.  Before she emigrated to the United States in 1984, her life in China was influenced by the Japanese invasion, Russian Communism, The Chinese Nationalists and Chinese Communism.  Her art integrates her personal experiences with the history and culture of China. In her paintings, she also explores themes of poor and suffering migrants in China and the USA and memorializes the world’s forgotten people.

Join us after the Program for a small reception in the Vanden Brul Pavilion.
