The Japanese artist Takashi Murakami combines highly refined classical Japanese painting techniques with distinctive Pop sensibilities. Known for his “Superflat” style, directly influenced by manga and anime, the artist creates works that explode with color and playfulness. For the 2015–16 ski season, in collaboration with Aspen Skiing Company, Murakami has produced four unique images, all of which embody his trademark visual aesthetic.
This Short Course is designed to investigate contemporary perspectives on performance raised by the exhibition A Fragile But Marvelous Life. Each two-hour session unpacks a question through the format of a lecture, discussion, and time in the galleries. The course can be taken as a three-part series and is taught by AAM Curator Courtenay Finn and Learning Director Michelle Dezember.
