arts talks nyc things to doThough separated by 60 years, the careers of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Andy Warhol both capitalized on the potential of mass media to advance their ideas. This conversation examines their respective depictions of two celebrity entertainers—Jane Avril and Marilyn Monroe—through posters, tabloids, silkscreen and film in order to investigate how both artists embraced and critiqued the relationships between modern art, celebrity and consumerism.

Gallery Sessions, impromptu interactions facilitated by Museum educators that explore the creative process, art history and the experience of art, take place daily in select galleries. Groups meet in the galleries noted on the schedule. Gallery Sessions are free with Museum admission. No registration is required.
