In the Studio: Postwar Abstract Painting

MoMA’s newest free online course, “In the Studio: Postwar Abstract Painting,” has begun, and registration ends tomorrow! Taught by conservator, art historian, and artist Corey D’Augustine, the course combines studio demonstrations, walkthroughs of MoMA’s galleries, close visual analysis of paintings in the collection, and art historical insight to introduce you to seven New York School artists—Barnett Newman, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin, Ad Reinhardt, and Yayoi Kusama. Says D’Augustine: “The more you know about how a painting is done, the more you can recreate the artist’s own perspective and intention, the more you can understand it.” Sign up at mo.ma/inthestudio.

What If We…: New Artwork from MoMA’s Community Partnership Program | MoMA

For over 10 years, our Community Partnership Program has worked with organizations around New York City to make the museum as accessible as possible for all New Yorkers, regardless of educational, economic, or other logistical constraints. A new exhibition of artworks created over the past two years of the program is now on view in our education building. These block prints depicting the Bed Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn were produced in a workshop with Lantern Community Services, which champions the independence and well-being of New Yorkers who are impacted by or threatened with homelessness. We hope you'll visit the exhibition the next time you're at the museum!
