Tom Wesselmann. Still Life #57. 1969–70. Oil on canvas and base of acrylic paint on carpet, in six sections. Gift of the artist. © Tom Wesselmann/Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY Alt Text: A gallery installation view of five shaped paintings arranged as larger than life sized objects placed on a red checkered picnic blanket. On the left is a periwinkle blue radio, with four lighter blue buttons on the left side and a large circular speaker in the center with two small knobs below. Behind it is a silver metallic switch plate. In the back center is a blue and white vase holding a spray of yellow daffodils. To the right of the flowers is a red-framed window in the shape of an acute triangle, with an abstracted blue and green landscape. Below the window and flowers is an orange, with the navel facing up at the one o'clock position.

Art inSight at Home is a monthly virtual program for individuals who are blind or have low vision. Staff educators highlight specific themes, artists, or exhibitions through verbal description and discussion using the Zoom online platform.

December's program looks at the power of everyday objects in our lives and in art. For many of us, the things that surround us in our personal environments have become all too familiar over the past few months. As 2020 draws to a close, we will explore how artists can transform these domestic items, creating compelling symbols of humanity and offering important commentary on life far beyond the walls of home.

Art inSight is free of charge. Participants may join using the free Zoom app or website, or toll free via phone.
