An Evening With Dr. Richard J. Powell

Dr. Richard J. Powell, a John Spencer Bassett Distinguished Professor of Art and Art History at Duke University, delivers a lecture based on current Gantt Center exhibit Visions: A Study of Form. Spotlighting 20th-century Black American artists including Robert Blackburn, Romare Bearden and Ralph Chessé, Visions examines their explorations of natural and abstract forms through various media. Over 30 works from the 1930s through the 1980s represent artistic styles ranging from abstraction to figurative art.
