American Cool Modernism with Miguel de Baca and Eric White, chaired by Tara Stubbs.
‘America’s Cool Modernism’ is an exhibition which has garnered critical acclaim and captured the imagination of many, bringing together some of the greatest works ever made by American artists. But these artworks have a complicated label attached: ‘Modernism’. In this discussion, panellists will use selected works from the exhibition as a springboard for a wider contemplation of the ‘whos’, the ‘whats’ and the ‘wheres’ of American Modernism.
Miguel de Baca studies modern and contemporary American art. He is especially interested in issues of memory-making and the representation of history as they intersect the history of abstraction. Miguel joins the History of Art Department as the Terra Foundation Visiting Professor of American Art in 2017-18 from Lake Forest College, where he was the chair of the Department of Art and Art History.
