Stephen Hannock: Painted VistaVisions

Presented in connection with the exhibit Gathering Light: The Art of Stephen Hannock, this lecture by art historian Jason Rosenfeld explores the recent art of the Williamstown-based painter and uncovers in his singular and original method of producing grandly scaled and luminous landscapes a process that involves a filmic sensibility in terms of its panoramic scope and distinctive form of narrative.
