*Faculty and instructors*: Are you interested in bringing your whole class
to an Observant Eye?

The Observant Eye is a fantastic way to help hone students' critical and
visual skills, and our collection offers relevant entry points for a wide
range of academic disciplines. Looking at a work of art offers your
students the opportunity to slow down and unpack multiple meanings and
contexts, change the pace of your class, and offer new ways for students to
engage with your course material.

*October 25, 2016 - January 29, 2017*
This major monographic exhibition is the largest museum retrospective to
date of the work of American artist Kerry James Marshall (born 1955).
Encompassing nearly 80 works—including 72 paintings—that span the artist's
remarkable 35-year career, it reveals Marshall's practice to be one that
synthesizes a wide range of pictorial traditions to counter stereotypical
representations of black people in society and reassert the place of the
black figure within the canon of Western painting.
