Jane Oneail returns to the Maynard Library to present a talk about artist George Tooker in celebration of Pride Month.

George Tooker often depicted the tensions of modern life and inhuman bureaucracies. As a gay man, active in the Civil Rights movement, Tooker explored boundary-breaking subjects in his work while also conjuring powerful scenes of quiet beauty. This program provides an introduction to the artist, his life and his remarkable body of work.
