On/After Boucher – Lecture with Molly Vaughan

Join Frye Art Museum’s Boren Banner artist Molly Jae Vaughan for a ritual performance and public lecture exploring the work of Francois Boucher (1703 – 70). Boucher’s jubilant, fluid and coloristic style was criticized later in his life as frivolous, but his opulent and decorative drawings from mythology draft the perfect canvas for Vaughan. Her ongoing series After Boucher inserts transgender people into this lavish Rococo world.

This event is free, but space is limited and we recommend you reserve your tickets ahead of time.
