The symposium, now in its 16th year, is being presented in conjunction with the
exhibition “Making It New: The Art and Style of Sara and Gerald Murphy,” which
is on view at the gallery through May 4. The exhibit explores the relationship
of the American expatriate couple with some of the pivotal figures in avant-garde
circles in Paris in the 1920s. It also brings together for the first time the
seven extant paintings by Gerald Murphy, and features works by the artists within
the couple’s circle, including Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Léger
and Picasso.
At 5:30 p.m. on Friday evening before the symposium, Wanda Corn, the Robert and
Ruth Halperin Professor Emerita in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford
University, will present the keynote Oswaldo Rodriguez Roque Memorial Lecture, “Making
Murphy New.” That event is free and open to the public, although seating
in the gallery’s McNeil Lecture Hall is limited.
“A Freshly Invented World” will feature talks examining the art world
of the 1920s, is also free and open to the public, but registration is required.
