Spanning six centuries and different cultures, four paintings reveal how artists engage with art history—and become part of it.
Art history isn’t linear. Artists mix and remix references, finding inspiration across time.
When contemporary artist Rozeal. began painting afro.died, T. in 2011 in her studio just outside Washington, DC, she didn’t have Titian’s Venus with a Mirror in mind. Paul Cezanne wasn’t thinking about Titian’s Ranuccio Farnese when he painted Boy in a Red Waistcoat in 19th-century France. Yet these works share striking visual similarities with Titian’s 16th-century paintings.
Back and Forth illuminates unexpected connections between these four works and invites us to see them in new ways.
