Pivotal Perspectives: Conversations on Art and Culture
Life Studies: The Indian Paintings of George de Forest Brush
May 3, 2009
2–3 pm
Nordstrom Lecture Hall


Fascinated by the Native people he met while living in Wyoming and Montana during the early 1880s, George de Forest Brush created a series of stunningly beautiful paintings with Indian subject matter that have long been prized by collectors. This lecture by Dr. Nancy Anderson, Curator of American and British Paintings at the National Gallery of Art, offers a behind-the-scenes account of the search for the paintings now on view at SAM in the first exhibition to focus exclusively on these complex works.

Bringing together some of the most compelling thinkers on a given cultural subject, Pivotal Perspectives is a timely and innovative forum that addresses pressing issues in art and society.

Please note that the location for the lecture has changed to the Nordstrom Lecture Hall.
