L. Michael Sandstead, art historian, will be speaking to the North Texas Objectivist Society in Dallas on Saturday, July 18, 2009 at 7:00 PM!

Illustrated presentation: "Why I LOVE Art!"

Two heart-pounding hours!

“Why I love Art!” is a narrative the details Sandstead’s personal discovery of art—from painting and sculpture to portraiture and still-lifes. Sandstead will discuss his passion for art, tell about the French woman who introduced him to art history, and explain the personal meaning of many great art works from Old Masters to modern-day masters.

“Art has transformed every fiber of this Tennessean’s being for the better,” says Sandstead. “This talk is how I did it—and how you can do it as well.”

Sandstead has delivered this lecture from Harvard to New York University, Sandstead says it is “. . . one of my favorite lectures—and the most personal.”
