Thursdays at 5:30 pm
Get acquainted with the museum's permanent collection during these 45-minute talks featuring artists included in the exhibition Out of Oklahoma. Talks will begin in the museum classroom and light refreshments will be served.
September 6 | Paintings as a Diary: Carolyn Brady
Brady called her watercolors of domestic interiors "a diary for me" because of the memories associated with the objects she chose to paint.
September 20 | In Your Space: Otto Duecker
Duecker made his first images of drifters in Tulsa's skid-row district in 1976. These lifesize, photorealist cutouts have no fixed context and exist in the viewer's space.
October 11 | People in Power: DJ Lafon
Lafon inspired numerous Oklahoma artists as chair of the art department at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma. Many of his paintings explore what motivates people to seek positions of power.
October 25 | Conceptualizing Nature: Joe Andoe
Andoe's minimalist abstractions of single natural elements and landscapes have been described as "conceptualizations of nature."
November 15 | Art as Discourse: Deloss McGraw
McGraw recalls being influenced in his early artistic studies by Oklahoma artists DJ Lafon and John Hadley, whose paintings both have a pictorial language.
November 29 | Form and Space: Leon Polk Smith
In Smith's paintings, negative space was as important as positive space. He deemphasized the subject and attempted to make the surrounding space equally interesting.
December 13 | Topographical Abstraction: Lee Mullican
Mullican said that his initial sense of abstraction grew out of his work during World War II as a topographical draftsman using aerial photography and mapping techniques.
