“Art is an outlet toward regions which are not ruled by time and space”
— Marcel Duchamp

Avant-Guardian Musings is a curated space of ideas and information, resources, reviews and readings for undergraduate and graduate students studying modern and contemporary art history and visual art theory, film and photography studies, and the expanding field of visual culture and screen studies. For students currently enrolled in my courses or the field school, the blog and associated social media links also serve as a place of reflection and an extension of the ideas and visual material raised in lecture and seminar discussion.

Check out my pick for top 10 modern and contemporary art exhibitions to check out and enjoy on your journey (link in bio). As I am still in the afterglow of my Asia trip, the Van Gogh and Japan exhibition in Amsterdam caught my eye and is among my summer selections.

Leonardo Da Vinci was born #otd in 1452. Detail from Andy Warhol, Colored Mona Lisa (1963), celebrating the cult of celebrity around da Vinci when the Mona Lisa famously toured the US in 1963. Check out my selection of weekly visual arts and culture reviews, op-eds, and news (link in bio), and don’t forget to support local college and university art school grad shows in the coming weeks. They will remind you of the power of art to speak truth to power in these crazy times. Happy Sunday! 💙#leonardodavinci #andywarhol #contemporaryart #arthistory #roundup #avantguardianmusings #art
