Join Visiting Museum Researcher Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw for a free public talk Sunday afternoon exploring the intersection of race and art. Robert Arneson's Black Pictures: Race, Politics and Personal Pain examines a controversial group of art works made by Robert Arneson toward the end of his career. Created with great passion and in a variety of media, these objects show the artist wrestling with complex ideas about racial stereotyping, political demagoguery and his own identity as he simultaneously battled debilitating cancer that would take his life in 1992. Shaw studies issues of race, gender, sexuality and class in the art of the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean.
