Edward Weston and Surrealism

with UWM Professor of Art History
Dr. Kenneth Bendiner at February 14
CoPA Schmooze, 6 p.m.
Libiamo Restaurant, 221 W. Galena St., Milwaukee.

Historians of photography don't usually associate Edward Weston with Surrealism, but that post-World War I movement in the arts underlies many of Weston's works, where everyday objects are divorced from their normal environments, and seem to possess double identities and sexual power.

Dr. Bendiner holds a Ph.D from Columbia University and currently teaches in the Department of Art History at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. His full Curriculum Vitae can be found here:
