Origins of Contemporary Abstract Painting: Body, Face, Grid

Daniel Marcus is a Ph.D. candidate in the History of Art at UC Berkeley. He has written on the motif of the face in the art of Jean Dubuffet, Cathy Wilkes, and Josh Smith.

Marcus will discuss how abstraction is rooted in the tropes of modernism by examining the work of Robert and Sonia Delaunay.
