Cecily Brown: Death and the Maid - The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Posted
Alumna Cecily Brown has a solo show, Cecily Brown: Death and the Maid, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from 4 April - 3 December 2023.
The show unites some 50 paintings, drawings, sketchbooks, and monotypes — many never before seen in New York and several recently completed — to focus on Brown’s enduring and intertwining themes of still life, memento mori, mirroring, and vanitas, symbolic depictions of human vanity or life’s brevity.
