Reinventing Religious Art in the 1960s

Description

Corita Kent’s art represented a reinvention of theologically meaningful work in a period that could otherwise produce no more than simulations. One exception, however, can be found in the work of Colin McCahon, then unknown outside his native New Zealand.

Thomas Crow, the Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art in the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, will examine parallels between Kent and McCahon in this lecture.
