Please join us for this program series in celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Portland Art Museum. Each one-on-one conversation will take place between Director Brian Ferriso and the Museum’s respective curators, offering insight into an area of the permanent collection. Learn about the rich histories of building the Museum’s collection and hear curatorial visions for the future.
Dawson W. Carr is The Janet and Richard Geary Curator of European Art, joining the Portland Art Museum in January 2013 as the Museum’s first full-time curator of European painting and sculpture. He is responsible for the research, documentation, and interpretation of art made in Europe from antiquity to 1900, as well as the organization of exhibitions and the development of the collection. Thanks to Dr. Carr’s original research, the most viewed piece in our Online Collection is an eighteenth century painting Il Femminiello, by Giuseppe Bonito.
Curators in Conversation runs through the end of 2018.
