During a career that spans nearly five decades, Sean Scully has both advanced and enriched the traditions of abstract painting. Sean Scully: The Shape of Ideas is the first retrospective of his work to be seen in the United States in more than 25 years. It surveys the development of his art since the early 1970s, when he emerged as a precocious talent and one of the most articulate advocates for the ongoing viability of geometric abstraction as a powerful form of artistic expression.
Dr. Mark Thistlethwaite is no stranger to Tuesday Evenings at the Modern. He first participated in March 1993, and since those early days of the Modern’s long-running program, Thistlethwaite has lectured no fewer than seven times on a variety of art topics that always inform and entertain. In addition, he has been a faithful liaison between the Modern and Texas Christian University, conducting classes on site and frequently bringing students to the galleries to engage directly with the art.
