Art Words
Robert Storr, Dean, Yale University School of Art.

When people speak of images in art they usually mean more or less recognizable pictures, but from the early modernists like Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró on down through Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Baldessari, Bruce Nauman, and Jenny Holzer, artists have chosen to represent reality and speak their minds with texts rather pictures. This talk will address the larger issues of that dramatic change through close examination of some of the most important “wordsmiths” in the visual arts.
