SUMMARY:Art Talk | Willie Anne Wright: Artist and Alchemist
DESCRIPTION:Curator Dr. Sarah Kennel will discuss the exhibit\, “Willie Anne Wright: Artist and Alchemist\,” on Thursday\, Feb. 11\, at Piedmont Arts. A reception will be held at 6:30 p.m.\, followed by the talk at 7 p.m. \nCelebrate groundbreaking\, internationally renowned photographer and painter Willie Anne Wright\, whose remarkable career spans more than six decades. Presenting 63 photographs and nine paintings by the Richmond\, Virginia\, native\, this is the first major exhibition to explore the trajectory of her impressive 60-year career. \nFrom playful and irreverent scenes of everyday life to ethereal evocations of the past\, Wright’s experimental paintings and photographs examine pop culture\, feminine identity\, the pull of history\, and the shifting cultural landscape of the South. \nWith a focus on photography’s role in shaping collective understandings of history\, place\, and gender\, the exhibition draws from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ recent acquisition of Wright’s work\, including more than 230 photographs and 10 paintings\, as well as a comprehensive artist archive. \nThis exhibit was organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and curated by Kennel\, the Aaron Siskind curator of photography and director of the Raysor Center. \nThis event is free and open to the public. RSVP by Wednesday\, Feb. 10. \nImage: “Anne S at Jack B’s Pool (Back)” (detail)\, 1984\, Willie Anne Wright (American\, born 1924)\, silver dye bleach print\, 11 x 14 in.
