Renaissance in America: The Revival of Egg Tempera Painting in American Art
with Doug Safranek

"Washing The White Blood Off Daniel Boone", Jared French, 1939

After largely disappearing from Western Art at the end of the Florentine Renaissance, egg tempera experienced a major revival in America during the first half of the 20th century and continues to be used by a growing number of artists today. Join us as we explore the work of Reginald Marsh, Andrew Wyeth, Paul Cadmus, George Tooker, Jared French, Jacob Lawrence, Ben Shahn, and a variety of other American painters who found and continue to find their voice through this ancient medium.
