"Doves" is one of only seven extant paintings
by Gerald Murphy featured in the Yale Art Gallery
exhibition "Making It New."



Scholars to discuss art world of 1920s

“A Freshly Invented World: Art and Innovation in the 1920s” is the title of this year’s Oswaldo Rodriguez Roque Memorial Symposium, being held Saturday-Sunday, April 12-13, at the Yale University Art Gallery, 1111 Chapel St.

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. For further information, call (203) 432-0616.
