Searching for alternatives to the classical Renaissance basis of academic models, modern artists turned to types of representation not based on observation but rather on abstract or imaginative constructs. Barbara Rose, independent scholar and former Morgan Drawing Institute Fellow, examines the imagery of medieval illuminated manuscripts devoted to the Apocalypse and discusses their relevance for artists such as Miró, Picasso, Léger, and Matisse. This program is co-organized by the Morgan Drawing Institute.
