Lecture | Charles Duncan, Executive Director of the Richard Pousette-Dart Foundation

Description

Sunday, December 7, 2-3 p.m.
Join Charles Duncan for a presentation about first-generation Abstract Expressionist artist Richard Pousette-Dart (1916–1992). Coinciding with the exhibition Altered States: The Etchings of Richard Pousette-Dart, this talk will introduce the artist’s career and philosophies pertaining to abstract art while offering an in-depth consideration of a series of hand-colored etchings created by Pousette-Dart ca. 1980. This presentation will also explore how Pousette-Dart championed the universal nature of art and intuitive approaches to artmaking, which come to full light through the layered processes of his sensitively-exquisite etchings. Questions such as “when is an artwork finished?” and “how do we categorize types of art?” will be considered alongside Pousette-Dart’s contributions to the emergence of the Abstract Expressionist movement during the 1940s and his late-career approaches to art making. Altered States is the first museum exhibition dedicated to Richard Pousette-Dart’s printmaking and many examples are being shown for the first time.
