Donald Kuspit: The Real in Caravaggio's Realism

Join us for a special lecture, "The Real in Caravaggio's Realism," by Art Historian and Critic Donald Kuspit, Wednesday, September 29, 6 pm.

Donald Kuspit critiques 2007-2008 Fellow Ali Banisadr's painting.

One of the contemporary art world's most important voices, Donald Kuspit joins Vincent Desiderio, Eric Fischl, Jenny Saville, Will Cotton and Steven Assael as the Academy's newest Senior Critic. Also a renowned writer and teacher, an essay by Mr. Kuspit accompanied the 2010 Thesis Exhibition as a compelling declaration of the importance of the New York Academy of Art's mission.

All lectures are free and open to the public, so join us!
