New York-based art critic Donald Kuspit will speak on Monday, May 7 about persisting distinctions in art criticism through the 19th and 20th centuries. His lecture, "Critical Consciousness of the Arts," will explore the divisions between realism and abstraction that have evolved throughout the last two centuries of art criticism.
Kuspit is a renowned art critic and Distinguished Professor of Art History and Philosophy at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Kuspit's well-known book, 'The End of Art,' was published in 2004.
"Kuspit is one of the most distinguished art historians, art critics, and cultural theorists working today," Professor of Art Mark Wethli wrote in an email to The Orient. Kuspit will give the lecture on Monday from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Beam Classroom in Visual Arts Center.
