Re/frame: Still Life

August 20, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM and 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM |

Join Ann Poulson, the Henry Art Gallery‘s Associate Curator of Collections, for an interactive online session to take a closer look at objects in the museum鈥檚 collection.听While the term 鈥渟till life鈥� may bring to mind Netherlandish paintings of bouquets and breakfast tables, the genre existed long before it reached those dizzying heights, and has been used as fertile ground for experimentation for artists since. There are plenty of variations on this theme in the Henry鈥檚 collection for us to explore.

Alum Greg Kucera, who聽sparked the idea for SDAF, and his colleagues did this not just for the support of our small businesses, but also for the artists in the community who have worked hard to create artwork for the official Seattle Art Fair that was canceled due to the pandemic. Its closure left a palpable void in the visual arts world, one which the聽Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair is filling.
