Artful Conversation for May: Picasso to Pistoletto

Gallery Guide: Mary Henderson

When: Friday, May 10 at 1.30 pm

Where: Meet in Walker Court

Twentieth Century figurative works can seem unexpected when abstraction was so prominent. This tour will show how the figure nevertheless continues to predominate as artists explore new ways to express themselves.

Mary will be touring Picasso’s “Fernande” (1906), Matisse’s sculptures “Janette V” (1916) and the sinuous “Figure Decorative” (1908) beside her, Ferdinand Leger’s “Kneeling Woman” (1921), Henry Moore’s “Mother and Child” (1953), Germaine Richier’s “Leaf” (1950s), Richard Diebenkorn’s “Women Outside” (1957),  Andy Warhol’s “Elvis 1 and 2” (1963/64),  and finally Michelangelo Pistoletto’s  “Untitled” (1967).
