LSU Museum of Art in Baton Rouge, LA is pleased to present Mario Moore: Responding to History. Featuring two paintings and two drawings, the exhibit provides an in-depth look at Moore’s artwork During and After the Battle. A product of a collaboration with fellow artist Mark Gibson, During and After the Battle responds to classical painting traditions, American history, and the Civil War, and reflects on the past and the present. Mario Moore: Responding to History also includes Gibson’s painting Battle of Antietam, which gives visitors another view into Moore’s process for During and After the Battle. During this virtual conversation with artists Mario Moore and Mark Gibson, viewers will learn more about this call and response collaboration between the artists and the significance of their paintings and study drawings. This conversation will be facilitated by Clarke Brown, LSU MOA Curatorial Fellow, who organized Mario Moore: Responding to History.
Mario Moore: Responding to History will be on view at the LSU Museum of Art until October 23, 2022.
Support for this exhibition and all LSU MOA exhibitions is provided by the Annual Exhibition Fund donors. Moore’s painting was acquired in 2020 with funds from the Winifred and Kevin P. Reilly Initiative for Underrepresented Artists.
