Authors, Artists and More at Katonah Museum of Art

Artist Rotem Reshef, Christopher Rothko, Stephen Maine and KMA Associate Curator Michele Wije engage in a conversation about Reshef’s artistic approach and the influence artist Helen Frankenthaler and the Abstract Expressionist movement had on her work. Her site-specific installation ARCADIA was inspired by the natural surroundings of the Museum – evident in her use of organic materials to imprint large scrolls of canvas. Reshef's practice is characterized by a 'control and release' technique in which she pours diluted paint on a horizontal canvas, tilting and imprinting on it to create layered gestural compositions.

 

$20 members, $25 non-members, $15 students. Includes reception.

Art as creative expression evokes a myriad of responses. It shows the breadth of human creative skill and imagination. There is no history or culture without art. That’s why National Art Day on October 25 is important. Also known as International Artist’s Day, it celebrates all forms of art — painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, music and more. It is a celebration of the passion and creativity in all artists.   Help celebrate National Art Day by visiting the Museum and exploring the exhibitions currently on view. Then, inspired by the works on view, create your own artistic expression in the Learning Center.   Click here for more information.
