Join Clara Poteet, the John Walsh Fellow in Museum Education, for a Gallery Talk addressing two works of contemporary art in the collection: an untitled painting by Kerry James Marshall and January 1977 by Sylvia Plimack Mangold, B.F.A. 1961. The talk explores how Marshall and Mangold paint the act of painting, thereby playing with art-historical notions of genre and inviting the viewer into a surprising encounter.
