“Three Perspectives on Contemporary Painting:
A Conversation with Suzanne Hudson, Math Bass, and Christina Quarles (via Zoom)” will be presented from 5 to 6 p.m. Friday, April 30 by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, sponsored in part by The Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara.

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 the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara.
