In Colonel Platoff on his Charger, 2008, painter Kehinde Wiley renders a centuries-old statement of prestige and authority—a man astride a powerful horse—with an insightful, contemporary twist. Wiley re-creates an 1815 image of a Russian Cossack colonel, but he replaces the military leader with a modern Black youth in street clothes. Learn some of what Wiley suggests with such a substitution. Led by a Modern docent.

ONLINE EVENT
Performed in the Modern's auditorium, “A Bridge of Searing Beauty,” the virtual Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth concert will present two composers whose works are rarely performed. The music of Frank Bridge (1879-1941) is beautiful in a highly romantic way and a great contrast to the classical style of Chevalier de St. George (1845-1899). Not only was there great contrast in their musical styles but in their lives, as well.
