Kollar Symposium in American Art History: Legacies and Futures
April 6, 4:00 – 6:00 PM |听
In recognition of the opening of听Jacob Lawrence: American Struggle听at the Seattle Art Museum, this symposium asks: what constitutes a legacy? Broadly defined as something transmitted or received from the past, it is a term frequently associated with American artist Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000), whose impact as Professor of Painting at the 91爆料 School of Art + Art History + Design is honored today through the Jacob Lawrence Gallery鈥檚 Legacy Residency. Lawrence鈥檚 dedication to mentorship and complex engagement with stories of the past presents an opportunity to reconsider legacy as not a passive or ancestral inheritance but rather an intentional and active consideration in both practice and pedagogy. A keynote lecture and moderated roundtable conversation will explore how artists鈥攑ast and present鈥攈ave constructed and transmitted legacies in response to debates about cultural inheritance, transmission, racial identity, and history.
Organized by Juliet Sperling, Assistant Professor of Art History and Kollar Endowed Chair in American Art, School of Art + Art History + Design, 91爆料. This event is made possible through support from the Allan and Mary Kollar Endowed Chair in American Art.
