Join curatorial fellow Madeline Murphy Turner, the Emily Rauh Pulitzer Curatorial Fellow in Contemporary Drawing, for a discussion on Ralston Crawford’s drawing Maitland Bridge (1938) and his related sketchbook. Both reveal the artist’s fascination with landscapes of industrial architecture. We will also delve into Crawford’s artistic practice as it relates to works by other artists in the galleries, contextualizing his work within mid-20th-century international art, culture, and politics.
