All Weekend

Ongoing – Philip Guston Now Exhibition @ MFAH Philip Guston never stopped questioning the place of the artist in society. His paintings resonate with a profound humanism, defined equally by themes that touch on what he called the “brutality of the world” and the profound commitment he made to the joy of painting.

(Ongoing – Wall Drawing Series: Mel Bochner @ Menil Drawing Institute) The Menil Drawing Institute is proud to work with artist Mel Bochner on the fourth installment of the museum’s ephemeral wall drawing series. Continuously succeeding to blend traditional compositional devices with Abstract Expressionism, Bochner stands out as a one-of-a-kind artist whose art strives to make us more attentive to the unspoken codes that underpin our engagement with the world.
