The Artist Project: Mary Weatherford

Artist Mary Weatherford reflects on Goya's Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga in this episode of The Artist Project.
From March 2015 to June 2016, we invited 120 artists—local, national, and global—to choose individual works of art or galleries that sparked their imaginations. In this online series, artists reflect on what art is, what inspires them from across 5,000 years of art, and in so doing, they reveal the power of a museum and The Met.

"There's more in the painting than you ever could have imagined and it comes to life."

Artist Mary Weatherford reflects on Goya's "Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga" in this episode of The Artist Project—an online series in which artists respond to works of art in The Met collection.
