About this program
"Marc Quinn: History Painting +," at the Yale Center for British Art from May 20 through October 16, 2022, presents six works by the British artist Marc Quinn, whose "History Painting" series reimagines iconic news photographs. One of these large-scale photorealist canvases, "History Painting (Kiev [Kyiv], 22 January 2014), YGORBW" is a depiction of Vasily Maximov’s photograph of the burning “battlefield” of Kyiv published in "Time" magazine in 2014. This lecture provides an overview of the history of Ukraine to help contextualize the current conflict. Martina Droth, Deputy Director and Chief Curator, will moderate the Q&A.
