In this year’s “The Michael and Juliet Rubenstein Lecture on Connoisseurship,” join world-renowned artist Kerry James Marshall in celebrating close looking as a source of inspiration. Known for his large-scale paintings, Marshall uses the process of close looking to critically examine art history and reassert the place of the Black figure within the canon of Western painting. Learn directly from the artist and his unique practice of connoisseurship as he explores objects from The Met collection, and shares his perspective on deliberate intent, creative process, and thoughtful composition building.
This series is made possible by the Michael A. and Juliet van Vliet Rubenstein Fund.
