Reckoning with Masculinity

Thursday, February 9,
6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. EST

How have ideas of masculinity, gender, and sexuality been constructed and depicted in different times and places? What can we learn by reconsidering historical works dealing with these themes today? Curator Jun P. Nakamura presents how these ideas are addressed in Macho Men: Hypermasculinity in Dutch & American Prints.

Listen to Philadelphia artist James Rose discuss how these themes relate to his own art practice. Learn how he reckons with being seen and understood in works such as Null and Void, two large drawings recently acquired by the museum and currently on view in Gallery 224.

Speakers

James Rose is a printmaker and Professor Emeritus of Art at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. His work centers around his own body and lived experience.
