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.

Click here for more information and to register.
This program is presented in conjunction with The Met Breuer exhibition Kerry James Marshall: Mastry.
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.
