Private Views | Daniel Marcus

This Wednesday, on the occasion of the exhibition Painting and Jugs, art historian Daniel Marcus treated us to a lecture about abstraction. He discussed abstraction as rooted in the tropes of modernism. Marcus theorized that during the time of Robert and Sonia Delaunay, the opposition of body and grid was still held together by a third term: the face. You can listen to the great talk below.
