John Yau: Frederic Church and Thomas Nozkowski and Their Views of the Catskills

Description

John Yau is an art critic, poet, fiction writer, and freelance curator. His talk will feature two artists, Frederic Church and Thomas Nozkowski, who both spent significant time in the Catskills, drawing inspiration from locales for their respective artworks. Yau's discussion focuses on each artist’s vision of nature and how their respective conceptions of seeing, as embodied in their paintings, could provide lessons for us today. He was the 2018 recipient of the Jackson Prize in Poetry in 2018, followed by a Rabkin Award for his art criticism in 2021. Yau currently serves as the editor of Hyperallergic Weekend and is a professor of Critical Studies at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts.
