Edwards exhibition focused on the visual definition of liberty and “the American spirit.” The show demonstrated how American artists  created images that defined the central idea behind the foundation and the strength of the US.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The pieces in the exhibit provided the observer a pictorial journey through the history of America, from images of 19th century “stump” speeches and Currier and Ives lithographs through liberty bond and military recruiting posters produced during World War I.  Traveling on, the artwork entered the latter 20th century’s pop art movement, highlighted by the work of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. In addition, Peter Kaplan’s photographs of the Statue of Liberty portrayed the American ideals of freedom and ingenuity.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="598" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 45 ><NOBR><div> <I><B>The Humanities Exchange, PO Box 1608, Largo, FL 33779</B></I><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <I><B>Tel: 514-935-1228; Fax: 514-935-1299</B></I><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
