SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Museum of Art will present its Arts Matters Lecture “Joan Miró in Time and Space” by Charles Palermo, Professor of Art History at The College of William and Mary at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4 at SBMA’s Mary Craig Auditorium, 1130 State St., Santa Barbara.
This lecture reviews works—paintings, objects, sculptures—by the great Catalan artist Joan Miró. Charles Palermo offers readings of works in the hope of showing how Miró implies movement and scale in his works. The result is fictional worlds with their own sense of time and place, which nevertheless stand right before us.
Free for Students and Museum Circle Members/$10 SBMA Members/$15 Non-Members
