Art Lecture with Thomas Germano - Andy Warhol - Revelation

Andy Warhol is one of the most celebrated and recognizable artists of the twentieth century, famous for screen printed celebrity portraits and package designs appropriated from popular culture applied to canvas, paper prints and sculpture. Warhol’s Byzantine Catholic upbringing, and its profound impact on his life and work, remains a lesser known element of his career. Andy Warhol: Revelation explores the artist’s lifelong relationship with his faith that frequently appeared in his artworks. Appropriations of Leonardo’s Last Supper, icon-like portraits of celebrities presented as secular saints, the family living room with Christian symbolism and a series of skulls(memento mori), and a series of shadows and light explore how Warhol’s Christian upbringing resurfaces in his Pop works. This exhibition will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum through June 19, 2022. Professor Thomas Germano will present a visual lecture presenting Warhol in the context of the Brooklyn exhibition.

Please note this will be a hybrid event.  Participants are invited to join us in-person or virtually on Zoom.
