Artists have long traveled for inspiration. Henri Matisse was moved by the Islamic textiles he encountered in North Africa, and Mondrian was deeply affected by the jazz and grid of Manhattan. Join us to discuss how these—and other—artistic journeys led to critical stylistic innovations.

This session is led by Lauren Kaplan.

Join us for lively conversations and engaging activities, facilitated by Museum educators, that offer insightful and unusual ways to engage with MoMA’s collection and special exhibitions.

Gallery Sessions are free for members and Museum admission ticket holders. No registration is required. Groups meet in the Marron Atrium, Floor 2.

FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.

This event is part of Gallery Sessions.
