Sean Scully Lecture
Description:
For More Webcasts & Podcasts: http://americanart.si.edu/interact/#webcasts?siref=Youtube&video=seanscully On May 19th, an eager audience gathered in the McEvoy Auditorium to hear artist Sean Scully, an event that marked the opening of The Prints of Sean Scully. The exhibition features a selection from his complete set of master prints, which the artist donated to the museum's permanent collection. Throughout his lecture, Scully combined his sharp wit and an obvious reverence for the creative process while he discussed the larger themes prevalent in his works, including some examples from the print collection on view in the exhibition. The artist also shared insight into the differences between painting and printmaking, the impact each technique has on his artistic approach and the inspirational effect poetry and literature have on his artwork.

Description:
Benjamin Forgey Complete Lecture: http://americanart.si.edu/collections/clarice_smith/index.cfm?siref=youtube&video=2007Forgey Changing Context: Architecture in Washington September 19, 2007 Benjamin Forgey was the widely acclaimed and beloved architecture critic for the Washington Post from 1981 to 2006. Prior to joining the staff at the Post, he was with the Washington Star from 1964 to 1981. Throughout his career, Forgey focused on architecture, but also wrote about historic preservation, urban design, and urban planning issues. In 2004, Forgey received the first Award for Cultural Journalism from the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Most recently, the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects presented Forgey with the 2006 Glenn Brown Award in recognition of his contributions to raise public awareness of the built environment and its benefits to society. Forgey retired from the Washington Post in June 2006 — one of his last articles for the newspaper reviewed the renovation of the museum's National Historic Landmark building. He continues to write and lecture about art and architecture.
