BMA Violet Hour: (Re)Constructing Juan Gris
Join us at the Baltimore Museum of Art for an evening inspired by Juan Gris, a pioneering and revolutionary contributor to the Cubist movement.
The program begins with a performance by PostClassical Ensemble, produced in collaboration with the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain and conducted by music director Angel Gil-Ordóñez. After the performance, take a deep dive into several of Gris’ works through a dynamically illustrated lecture by Dr. Harry Cooper, senior curator and head of modern art at the National Gallery of Art in DC.
