Description:
On Thursday, February 19th from 5-7 PM, the MMAC cordially invites you to two concurrent exhibitions, “ReAssessing Aden Arnold” and “InSequence: Geoffrey Stocking.” Aden Arnold (1901-1973) taught at UM for 30 years and was a transformative figure who brought modernist visual arts to Montana. This exhibition presents his contributions to the state’s modernist landscape through his teaching and artistic legacy.

Through his vibrant non-objective paintings, UM art alumnus Geoffrey Stocking explores themes of color relationships, inviting engagement with complex ideas, including the influence that colors have on our world and the people in it.

Geoffrey Stocking will deliver a talk from 6-7 PM in the museum’s Michele and Loren Hansen Gallery.
