Please join art historian Josie Piller who will discuss the impact of this seminal work on the artist and the viewing public. The former Director of the University Art Gallery, University of Pittsburgh, Ms. Piller has taught at the University of Pittsburgh, Oakland and Saint Vincent College in addition to her current work as Curator of the Friends of Albert Schweitzer Hospital, Haiti. About The Westmoreland Museum of American Art The Westmoreland Museum of American Art was “established as the Woods Marchand Foundation in 1949 at the bequest of Mary Marchand Woods, a resident of Greensburg interested in the arts but without a personal collection. This visionary founder bequeathed her entire estate in order for the Museum facility to be built in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, 35 miles east of Pittsburgh, where it was positioned to serve the people of rural Westmoreland County as well as the city of Pittsburgh. In 1959, the Museum opened its doors to the public and its focus became the collection and exhibition of American and southwestern Pennsylvania art.” For further information about The Westmoreland Museum of American Art visit http://www.wmuseumaa.org/about/history.cfm
