The Guggenheim celebrates the ideas, people, and art at the core of its mission by offering virtual and in-person Mind’s Eye programming for participants who are blind or have low vision. Join us in November for a tour of our newest exhibition Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910-1930.
This major exhibition will examine the vibrant abstract art of Orphism, explore its developments in Paris, and the impact dance, music, and poetry, among other disciplines, had on the art.
Orphism emerged in the early 1910s, when the innovations brought about by modern life were radically altering conceptions of time and space. Artists connected to Orphism engaged with ideas of simultaneity in kaleidoscopic compositions, investigating the transformative possibilities of color, form, and motion. Selected works by artists including Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, Mainie Jellett, František Kupka, Francis Picabia, and Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, and by the Synchromists Stanton Macdonald-Wright and Morgan Russell, will be on view.
This month’s Mind’s Eye programming will be led by artist and educator Maya Jeffereis through verbal description and conversation. The virtual session will be accessible by web link or by dial-in phone number, depending on your preference.
The same program will be offered twice virtually and twice in person; please RSVP for only one session.
