Elegy: Lament in the 20th Century
Saturday, July 23
10:15 AM – 12:00 PM
Black Sorrow, 1946, by Charles White (American, 1918–1979), 2003-171-1. © The Charles White Archive
In this season of violence, loss, and tumultuous change, see how artists have responded to tragedy, grappled with mortality, and commemorated those who have passed. After an introduction to the galleries, there will be time for indivdual encounters with the art and exploration together of its impact. We will ask whether the exhibit provides guidance for moving through our feelings and finding meaning in our grief.
