With the publication this year of American Workman: The Life and Art of John Kane, Pittsburgh's own self-taught painter, John Kane, is enjoying a renaissance of sorts. This October, Professor Grant Martsolf and Dr. James DeMasi will introduce the art and context of John Kane at The Senator John Heinz History Center, which is hosting an exhibit of 37 of Kane's works among other works from his contemporaries. To answer the question, "What would John Kane paint today?" Professor Martsolf and Dr. DeMasi will dig into the genius of this 20th century master to confront his vision of homo laborans. The lecture is free, but the museum charges for admission.
