Fit for a Queen: Perkins Harnly, Victorian Style and Queer Identity in Midcentury America
Tuesday, April 6, 5 p.m.
Online via Zoom
Closed captioning provided
Presented by Sarah Burns, Ruth N. Halls Professor Emerita, Art History, Indiana University
Born on a hardscrabble Nebraska farm, artist Perkins Harnly crossed paths with legendary celebrities and colorful characters while visiting famous graveyards, winning prizes at drag balls and toiling in an upscale Los Angeles cafeteria. From the 1930s on, Harnly produced paintings of exuberantly overstuffed Victorian rooms embedded with sly jokes alluding to his own queer selfhood. Looking through the lenses of Harnly’s life and art, this talk considers the role of the Victorian interior as metaphorical closet that served as a refuge from the judgment and dangers of the outside world. Free—Registration required.
Kate Clarke Lemay, Portrait Gallery acting senior historian, will moderate the Q&A. This program is a part of the Tommie L. Pegues and Donald A. Capoccia Conversation Series in LGBTQ+ Portraiture and is hosted by PORTAL, the Portrait Gallery’s Scholarly Center.
WHAT BMA x NMWA: CounterstoryJoin us for BMA x NMWA, a livestreamed monthly talk show co-presented by The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) and the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA). In this episode, educators from both museums welcome Filipino-American artist Stephanie Syjuco and Hannah Shambroom, co-curator of the special exhibition Sonya Clark: Tatter, Bristle, and Mend, on view at NMWA through May 31, 2021. Syjuco discusses her three-part installation Stephanie Syjuco: Vanishing Point (Overlay), on view at the BMA through May 16, 2021, which examines how images construct and fortify white supremacy and exclusionary narratives of history and citizenship. Shambroom shares mixed-media sculptures by artist Sonya Clark that address race and visibility, explore Blackness and redress history. Clark’s work manifests ancestral bonds and reasserts the Black presence in histories from which it has been pointedly omitted. WHERE WHEN PRICE |
