American
Crossings: The Complex Legacy of Robert Colescott
|
|
Thursday, February 23, 6–7 pm
The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium
Join a visual artist and scholars as they reflect on the lasting impact of
artist Robert Colescott's groundbreaking work and the power that artists
have in reinterpreting dominant historical narratives, specifically those
that have excluded Black bodies and identities. This conversation coincides
with a special display of Colescott's iconic painting—George Washington Carver Crossing the
Delaware: Page from an American History Textbook (1975)—on loan
from the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art to The Met through February 2023,
and part of Crossings,
an installation that explores ongoing resonances between past and present
artistic expressions—specifically, modern and contemporary responses to
Emanuel Leutz's epic Washington Crossing the
Delaware (1851).
This event is presented in celebration of Black History Month.
Free with Museum admission, though advance registration is required.
