Gallery Talk
History in the Making: Titus Kaphar
June 20, 2009
11–11:30 am
Third Floor Galleries


CANCELLED

Artist Titus Kaphar makes oil-on-canvas copies of European and American portrait paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries and reconfigures them in strategic ways to create a dialogue about race, art and representation. This 30-minute tour examines how his work is at once beautiful and halting as he dances between fictional narrative and history as shown in the paintings in the exhibition Titus Kaphar: History in the Making.

Free with museum admission.
