Join curatorial fellow Madeline Murphy Turner for a deep dive into artworks that are newly on view in the galleries: two prints by José Clemente Orozco and a preparatory drawing by Jean Charlot. Through close looking, we will discuss how drawings and prints played a key role in the preparation and circulation of murals.

This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.
