The Event

The traditional story of art focused on white Western male artists and the idea of progressive genius. It overlooked artists based on gender, geography, and race to simplify the story. So what happens when we take the blinkers off? Art critic Charlotte Mullins' new book, A Little History of Art, published by Yale University Press, explores a thrilling journey through 100,000 years of art, from the first artworks ever made to art’s central role in culture today. Starting with the Spanish conquistadors and Moctezuma II and traveling to Benin City, London, Kyoto, Rome, and New York, this talk based on her book considers the complex network of art and presents an alternative view of some familiar favorites.
