Perspectives on Modern Art
hosted by Tim Brown, Hillyer Director

Thursday, May 21, 2026, 6:15 to 7 pm

Organized in conjunction with the exhibition Modern Movements, Tim Brown will share his personal perspectives on select works in the exhibition and invite program participants to share their point of view about works of art that speak to them.

Curated by Adriana Ospina

April 4–May 31, 2026

The exhibition celebrates work produced between 1940–1996 by well-known figures who pushed artistic boundaries to produce a pan-American visual language and spotlights avant-garde artists who defined foundational movements like surrealism and geometric abstraction. Featuring artists such as Roberto Matta (Chile), Sarah Grilo (Argentina), Manabu Mabe (Brazil), and Jesús Rafael Soto (Venezuela), the exhibition charts the cultural exchanges and creative tensions fostered by Latin American artists, whose experimentations with form, color, and movement created powerful dialogues within and beyond their respective countries.
