Meet the Professor -TIFFANY CALVERT "Low Resolution: Making Paintings in an Expanded Field

Tiffany Calvert, Professor of Art, makes paintings at the intersection of digital and traditional media. Her work is primarily concerned with fragmenting and obstructing images, interrupting the transmission of visual information in order to create an opening for the viewer. Calvert’s concern with obstructing vision links up with the long history of modern painting, and is indebted to the work of Cezanne and the early Impressionists. She will discuss how painting’s legacy of perplexing images dovetails with the mutability of visual information in our contemporary, everyday lives.
