WexLab: Human Form in Modern Art

In this session, youth worked from live clothed models and explored the historical context and figurative work of Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, and Jean Dubuffet. Columbus artist/educator Bryan Moss took participants through small experimental sketches with three kinds of 2D materials—vine charcoal, ink, and paint—and Wex educator Jean Pitman took the group through Transfigurations: Modern Masters from the Wexner Family Collection to talk about why the depiction of the human form is such a keystone throughout the history of art.
