In this lecture, Object Lessons catalogue essayist Ellery Foutch will discuss her perspective on the exhibition, sharing her research processes and questions as she considered this collection of canonical American art. How might our interpretation of the collection shift if we foreground ideas about gender, masculinity, or femininity?
