MORRO BAY — On Nov. 11, the Morro Bay Art Association will present a special lecture and book signing featuring renowned art writer John Seed. Seed will discuss his latest book, “More Disruption: Representational Art in Flux,” which explores how 43 contemporary painters are challenging and reshaping the tradition of Realism in response to today’s fast-paced, social-media-driven world.
