Lunch & Learn: Looking Anew at the BMA’s American Gallery

Have you noticed that works of art from the American gallery recently appeared in Monet to Matisse: French Moderns, 1850–1950 and will appear in Roll Call: Two Hundred Years of Black American Art? Attend this Lunch & Learn to see the more than ten new works that are on view while favorites from the gallery like Henry Ossawa Tanner’s Moroccan Scene and Charles Ethan Porter’s Still Life appear in these featured exhibitions. We will begin with a brief conversation in the gallery before connecting over lunch in the Members Room.
