To mark the publication of Modernism, Art, Therapy (Yale University Press, 2024)—an innovative collection of essays by established and emerging scholars—this conversation explores the relationships between clinically derived art therapies, institutions, and artistic practices in the visual arts from the twentieth century to the present. Co-editors Suzanne Hudson and Tanya Sheehan are joined by contributor Julian Chehirian to share their ongoing research in a discussion moderated by Cris Scorza, Helena Rubinstein Chair of Education at the Whitney.
A born-digital volume, Modernism, Art, Therapy offers a transnational history of modernist art, connecting discourses on art as therapy to broader questions of gender, disability, race, and the politics of care. It is available as an open-access title on the Yale University Press website.
This program is presented in partnership with the Arts in Medicine department of NYC Health and Hospitals.
