Symposium proceedings will be published by the Museum i n the Spring of 2023.\n\n\n\nMorris Hirshfield Rediscovered features over 40 of the artist’s paintings (more than half of his output) as well as p hotographic and audio archives that trace the painter’s brief but sensat ional career in New York. This exhibition reintroduces to scholars\, histo rians\, and the contemporary audience a singular artist whose work has bee n obscured since his death in 1946.\n\nIn the symposium “Unexpected Part ners: Self-Taught Art and Modernism in Interwar America\,” Morris Hirshf ield’s remarkable production and contentious reception serve as a spring board for a broader consideration of modernism’s complex interchange wit h self-taught art in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. P anelists will revisit a vital moment during the interwar period when vangu ard and self-taught art were in dialogue through new research into key epi sodes such as Morris Hirshfield’s embrace by the Surrealists who decampe d to New York as fascism rose in Europe or William Edmondson’s experienc e as the first Black and self-taught artist to be given a solo exhibition at MoMA.\n\nTalks will highlight the important contributions that self-tau ght artists made to the development of modernism in the United States\, re dressing these artists’ gradual exclusion from the art-historical canon in the postwar era and fleshing out a more representative narrative of Ame rican art.\n\nSpeakers include: Bill Anthes\, Esther Adler\, Susan Davidso n\, Julia Bryan-Wilson\, Lynne Cooke\, Jane Kallir\, Jennifer Jane Marshal l\, Richard Meyer\, Angela Miller\, Rodrigo Moura\, Marci Kwon\, Valérie Rousseau\, Nicole Smythe-Johnson and Brooke Wyatt.\n\nClick here for a ful l schedule of the program.\n\nVisit this link to read the speakers’ biog raphies.\n\n“Unexpected Partners: Self-Taught Art and Modernism in Inter war America” is presented in partnership with the Department of Art & \; Art History at Stanford University\, with the support of the Terra Foun dation for American Art.\n--\nImage credits:\n\nLeft: Hermann Landshoff\, André Breton\, Marcel Duchamp\, Max Ernst [standing behind Morris Hirshfi eld’s Nude at the Window (Hot Night in July)]\, and Leonora Carrington ( seated) at Peggy Guggenheim’s townhouse\, Fall 1942\, New York\, NY\, Di gital print (original: gelatin silver print\, 60 x 60 in.). © bpk.
