In The Farrell Auditorium

Discover a fresh approach to the history of modern art by examining an array of international artists who were influenced by Millet’s progressive artworks and their critical reception. The symposium will explore the often overlooked formal and political radicalism of Millet’s work. It will also explore Millet’s fascinating avant-garde legacy in the output of artists from Vincent van Gogh to Giovanni Segantini and Salvador Dalí.

The symposium is held in conjunction with the exhibition Millet and Modern Art: From Van Gogh to Dalí, on view February 16–May 17, 2020.

Friday’s keynote lecture and Saturday’s symposium programming can be attended together or as stand-alone events. Each day’s programming is ticketed separately to allow for this flexibility. Entry into the exhibition on Friday evening and Saturday is included with the purchase of a ticket to Saturday’s symposium programming.
