Robert Storr, Senior Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, speaks with American painter, John Currin. This lecture is the third part of the 2002 Artists’ Visions series, underwritten by Gilda and Henry Block. Storr describes Currin’s paintings as “aggressive” and intentionally unconventional, comparing his style to the figurative painting movement of the 1970s, known as “Bad Painting.” Currin shares slides of his work and describes his gradual transition away from Gerhard Richter-style abstraction in favor of figurative painting. He explains that he grew to dislike the uncertainty of post-modern abstract art and instead “wanted to make paintings with a center.” The discussion is followed with questions from the audience.
