Additional information
On this tour, Diana Ochoa-Chavez ’26 will explore how artists have attempted to live with loss and how grief has impacted their art. Moving from ancient portraiture to modernist abstraction, Ochoa-Chavez will highlight works that don’t announce grief in their titles, and will think about what it means to name, express, and carry grief. The stops on the tour are an Egyptian funerary portrait Portrait of a woman (130–50 CE), James McNeill Whistler’s painting Harmony in Grey and Peach Colour (1872–74), and the sculpture Curve X (1974) by Ellsworth Kelly.
