Color is core to understanding the work of The Rockwell Museum’s upcoming 2025 Antigravity artist, Anna Warfield. Pink is plentiful in Warfield’s practice, and pockets of blue emerge as well. Learn about Warfield’s approach to color as it relates to her upcoming site-specific installation which focuses on material, space, dimensionality and color. Through this lecture, you’ll see how Warfield uses visual elements, including color, perceived as comforting to mask an assertive and confrontational narrative. Explore the evolving cultural histories of pink and blue to better understand our contemporary associations, and see how Warfield’s artwork challenges our associations with both colors.
Members-Only Post-Lecture Reception
Rockwell Members are invited to join us for a post-lecture reception on the Museum’s second floor. Meet The Rockwell’s new executive director, Erin M. Coe, and mingle with lecture speakers, fellow members and more.
