  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

Joan Miró: The Magic of Metaphors 

DateMonday, May 18, 2020 at 8:00AM

Two works by Joan Miró that will be discussed in class (click photo for larger image)Jill Kiefer will be devoting one online class to Joan Miró ( (1893-1983). You can also read about this wonderful artist here on What About Art?

Miró was one of the great mavericks of modern art. Although he was closely associated with both Dada and Surrealism, Miró developed a signature style that truly defies labels. Using pictorial signs, biomorphic forms, geometric shapes and traveling lines—he vigorously expressed the fruits of his imagination with respect to his own human experience. By juxtaposing semi-abstracted forms with recognizable imagery, Miró addressed a broad range of concepts and ideas in a transcendent, lyrical way. His visual poetry contributed enormously to the avant-garde movements that would follow him, and his work continues to delight and inform us to this day. Join us as we explore the ways in which this inventive artist dismantled traditional modes of representation. 

Friday, 12 June - 3:00pm – 4:00pm Eastern (New York Time)
