CRS Outings: Tour “Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston” at the Jewish Museum
Thursday, March 6 • 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
This event is for CRS members only. Learn more about membership at CRS here.
“Draw Them In, Paint Them Out” presents the work of painter Philip Guston (American, b. Canada 1913–1980), the child of Jewish immigrants from Odessa (present-day Ukraine), and Trenton Doyle Hancock (American, b. 1974), a leading Black contemporary artist based in Houston, Texas, in dialogue for the first time. It explores resonant connections between their work and the role that artists play in the pursuit of social justice. The exhibition features key works by Guston, including his now iconic, late satirical Ku Klux Klan paintings in dialogue with major works Hancock created in response to his inspirational mentor, highlighting their parallel thematic explorations of the nature of evil, self-representation, otherness, and art activism. This exhibition contains explicit language, depictions of violence and lynchings and references to suicide. It also includes a video with flashing lights.
CRS Outings is made possible by generous support from Marcia and David Lavipour, and Maxine Schweitzer.
You may request a refund until February 27. All requests must be sent in writing to crs@crsnyc.org.
