Poetry resembles painting. Some works will captivate you when you
stand very close to them and others if you are at a greater distance.
This one prefers a darker vantage point, that one wants to be seen in
the light since it feels no terror before the penetrating judgment of
the critic. This pleases only once, that will give pleasure even if we
go back to it ten times over. —Horace
Jenni Quilter (The New School for Public Engagement) considers the Poetry Foundation’s current exhibition, Jane Freilicher: Painter Among Poets. Quilter's discussion will explore Freilicher's friendships with poets John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara, James Schuyler, and Kenneth Koch. The event will feature a virtual tour of other collaborations among painters and poets of the New York School, and a discussion of the relationship between image and text. Quilter will touch on the possibilities that images hold for the poet, the cop-out of “illustration,” and the history of livre d’artiste. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A moderated by David Getsy (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and a reception.
