Anne Monahan: Notes on Chuck Close’s Self-Portrait/Scribble/Etching Portfolio

December 11, Thursday, 7:30 p.m.

This event has been re-scheduled for Thursday, February 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Since the late 1960s, Chuck Close has focused exclusively on translating the information in photographic portraits to paintings, drawings, and prints, and other media. His Self-Portrait/Scribble/Etching portfolios document the incremental steps required to achieve his goals. This talk by Marlboro College visiting professor of art history Anne Monahan focuses on how Close’s attention to the laborious processes of making art—as evident in these etchings, in particular—informs his oeuvre.

Admission: $4 adults, $3 seniors, $2 students; BMAC members, children 6 and under free.
