Speaker: Darby English, Carl Darling Buck Professor, Department of Art History, University of Chicago
Professor Darby English will walk the audience through a close visual consideration of art on view in Silver Linings: Celebrating the Spelman Art Collection. The talk approaches elements within the works where you can see art benefiting the creators—and possibly observers—in a way that nothing else in the racialized world can do.
Generous support for the exhibition provided by Art Bridges.
The HESCAH (Harn Eminent Scholar Chair in Art History) program was established by a gift from Dr. David A. and Mary Ann Cofrin, this endowment funds lecture series and symposia featuring leading art historians, critics, curators and museum professionals.
