Kids Day: Travelling with Grace Hartigan

On Sundays at 3 pm, free workshops for children aged 4 to 10 take place at the museum. Younger visitors are introduced to art in an accessible and engaging way, and are also given the opportunity to learn and explore various topics and experiment with different art techniques.

Grace Hartigan was a U.S.-born painter, among the foremost figures of Abstract Expressionism. She began painting in the 1940s and, inspired by colleagues such as Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko, she soon started exploring new means of expression. Through color, texture, and gesture, in her painting Ireland (1958) Hartigan evoked a place that was dear to her without depicting it. Let's give free rein to our sensations and let them guide us toward new destinations.
