In her forthcoming book Contemporary Painting (Thames and Hudson, April 2021), Los Angeles-based art historian and critic, Suzanne Hudson, considers painting as a vibrant and sometimes contentious critic of a dynamic global society. Two esteemed painters, Math Bass and Christina Quarles, who are discussed in Hudson’s book, join the author in a conversation about painting. This event is moderated by curators from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara. Pre-order Suzanne Hudson’s Contemporary Painting book from the SBMA Museum Store.
