Called to Create

On Tuesday, Honors Art History and Visual Art Concentration students made a trip to the National Gallery to see a landmark exhibit titled Called to Create: Black Artists of the American South. This show, which represents a major series of new acquisitions, is part of a continuing effort by the gallery to extend its representation of American art and artists. Our students also looked at more widely-exhibited Modernist art from Europe and America and considered deep, universal questions about the human creative instinct.
