This series asks distinguished writers, critics, and art historians to shed new light on the various meanings of this art-historical term and its relationship to the artists whose works were once defined by it. Individual lectures: $10 each ($7 for members, seniors, and students) Entire four-lecture series (Save 20%): $32 ($22 for members, seniors, and students). Complimentary tickets have been reserved for members of the Patrons Circle and Young Collectors Council. Please call (212) 423-3624.
