In recent years, it has regained widespread popularity.  But what makes it so enticing?  Find out in this day-long symposium, presented in conjunction with the exhibition From the Village to Vogue: The Modernist Jewelry of Art Smith.  Talks by leading scholars will survey American painting, sculpture, architecture, jewelry and design during the post-War era.  Join your fellow Midcentury Modern enthusiasts as we explore the art and design of the 20th century.
