The Figure is Back: Representing the Body in Contemporary Art

Weekly starting Wednesday, October 1, 6:30 pm

Hamilton Building, Lower Level

Over the course of the last century, the human figure crept off the canvas and went into virtual hiding. But in the hands and minds of artists working today, the classic subject of the human figure is back on the scene. Whether rendered in plaster, pixels, or lipstick, whether represented incompletely or leaving only traces of itself, the figure has taken on new and dynamic forms. Join master teacher Sonnet Hanson in an in-depth look at the figure in art today and in Focus: The Figure, a new installation in the modern and contemporary galleries.

Wednesdays, October 1–22, 6:30–8 pm
