The talk will explore the concept of how the passage of time is frozen in art, examining how changing trends in art are influenced by the evolving times. We will delve into how artists act as mirrors to society, capturing moments that reflect the cultural, political, and social climates of their eras. The discussion will question how much we can truly understand or relate to art from past periods, given our different perspectives today. Focusing on iconic artists such as Warhol, Haring, Rosenquist, and Hockney, we will explore how their works document their times while continuing to resonate with us in the present.
