About the event

Curator Talk, Still Striking: Art and Aging with Dr. Douglas Dreishpoon
Join us for Still Striking: Art and Aging a lecture by Dr. Douglas Dreishpoon in conjunction with the exhibition Radius: Helen Frankenthaler Prints in Context.

How does creativity accommodate age? For any committed artist (painter, sculptor, musician, writer, dancer), are there benefits to aging? How does one navigate the many challenges brought on by time? Does aging influence one’s aesthetic disposition? How does a perennially creative individual—in a word—persist?

Artistic late work remains a timely subject, as more baby boomers continue to thrive past the mid-life threshold. Dreishpoon has been exploring the topic since 2018, conferring with artists of all stripes, many over the age of 65. His upcoming talk will address the cultural, political, economic, and social dimensions of aging, then highlight, through slides, audio and video clips, late works by Helen Frankenthaler, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Louise Bourgeois, Willem de Kooning, Tony Bennett, Miles Davis, and Merce Cunningham.

The lecture will conclude with a short audience question and answer session.
