Aspects of (American) Life at the New Britain Museum of Art
Join us to celebrate the unveiling of Beth Lipman’s Aspects of (American) Life. The latest addition to the Museum’s Appropriation & Inspiration series, this installation relates directly to Thomas Hart Benton’s epic murals The Art of Life in America.

For Lipman, the still life operates as a commentary on our current consumer culture.
