OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – A gallery talk given by OU Art History Professor, VICTOR KOSHKIN-YOURITZIN will begin on Sunday, September 20, 2009 at 3:00p.m., at JRB Art at The Elms. The Art and Culture Series at JRB Art at The Elms is an ongoing, salon-style series of presentations, discussions, and performances that often focus on work on view at The Elms. The series is designed to foster understanding and appreciation of art and the culture in which it was created.
VICTOR KOSHKIN-YOURITZIN was educated at Williams College, Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, and New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. Professor Youritzin was a Ford Foundation Fellow at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and taught at Vanderbilt and Tulane universities before joining the OU faculty in 1972. He teaches Understanding Art, 19th-Century Art, Cézanne to 1950, American Art, and Museum Studies. Author of Photographs by Charles Henri Ford (2006), Pavel Tchelitchew (2002), Five Contemporary Russian Artists (1992), Oklahoma Treasures (1986), and other exhibition catalogs, he is also co-author of American Watercolors from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Abrams, 1991; a Book-of-the-Month-Club Selection).
YOURITZIN’S scholarly and critical articles have appeared in such internationally important publications as ARTnews, ARTS, Art Journal, Gazette des Beaux-Arts, and the Sunday Los Angeles Times. He has not only lectured at museums and universities across the United States - including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Students League of New York, and New York Studio School - but has also lectured in England, France, Africa, and the Caribbean. He has served as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Program for Art on Film (MMA/Getty Trust). He has curated numerous art exhibitions and has served on many museum committees and boards.
YOURITZIN will give a dynamic, slide-illustrated lecture entitled, HOW TO JUDGE ART: Exercises in Art Criticism and Appreciation. He will present detailed critical analyses of famous painting by Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse and many other world renowned artists.
Professor YOURITZIN will discuss what constitutes successful art and will help viewers gain access points to the magic and power of great art. Widely known as a charismatic speaker, YOURITZIN will, after offering numerous critical principles, conclude by examining two drawings: one a real Van Gogh, the other a forgery. Which is which and why?
