GEORGE STUBBS & THE IMAGE OF THE HORSE LECTURE AT THE FRICK COLLECTION

set 4-16; AK; #696287

NEW YORK CITY — “George Stubbs and the Image of the Horse” is the subject of a free lecture by Malcolm Warner, senior curator, Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas. The lecture will be presented Wednesday, May 2, at 6 pm, at the Frick Collection, One East 70th Street.

George Stubbs greatly resented the label “horse painter.” In fact, he drew and painted horses quite differently from any artist before him, bringing to his work a hard-won anatomical knowledge, a classical sensibility, and, at times, a powerful charge of intellectual and imaginative associations.

This lecture will focus specifically on the work of the artist, the subject of the Frick’s current special exhibition “George Stubbs (1724–1806): A Celebration,” on view through May 27.

Seating for this lecture is unreserved and available beginning at 5:30 pm. For information, www.frick.org or 212-547-6844.
