Through Lines: With Fine Arts Professor Susan Lichtman

Program April 14, 2019, 2:30 p.m.

Experience Howardena Pindell's retrospective exhibition through the lens of painter and Brandeis University Fine Arts Professor Susan Lichtman. This tour is part of the museum's Through Lines series, which aims to shed light on the radical ideas and transformational, multidisciplinary processes that continue to shape artistic practice.

Susan Lichtman is the Charles Bloom Chair in the Arts of Design in the Department of Fine Arts at Brandeis. A painter, Lichtman is known for her portrayals of domestic spaces: compositions constructed from direct observations, remembered impressions, and photographs she takes and finds. These scenes are distinguished by Lichtman's skilled depiction of light and her carefully controlled color palette, elements which contribute to the intimate narratives in which they appear to be wrapped. A recipient of awards from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Lichtman has had a recent solo exhibition at the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virgina.

Free and open to the public
