Nan Rosenthal, who was a senior consultant at The Metropolitan Museum of Art at the time of this recording, moderates a conversation with artist Brice Marden. Marden shares slides of his work, using what he refers to as a “retrospective format” to reflect on his pieces, including Nebraska (1966), For Otis (1967-1968), Three Deliberate Greys for Jasper Johns (1970), and Cyprian Evocation (1992). He discusses the various methods and mediums used in his paintings, such as beeswax and turpentine, the themes present in his art, and the ways in which calligraphy, landscapes, and other imagery inspire his work. The discussion concludes with audience questions.
