Mira Hecht, Abstract Artist

About 25 SAA members spent a few hours with Mira Hecht, an Abstract artist and instructor at the Corcoran.

We started with an art history lesson (abbreviated) showing how painting evolved from realism to today's abstractionism.   We had a taste of movements such as Impressionism, Cubism, Expressionism, Modernism, and some of the work of Kandinsky, Klee, Miro, O'Keeffe.  We even touched on the emergence of photography and its affect on the painting of realistic scenes and portraits.

We were then treated to examples of Mira's work. x
