Mar 17, 2011 The paintings of the Scottish-born, Trinidad-based artist Peter Doig give off a modest, quiet nostalgia. Referencing both art history and popular culture, his imagery asserts the primacy of the painting process and turns the real and familiar into uncanny presences. Recorded March 17, 2011 in The Phillips Collection Auditorium.

Duncan Phillips Lectures

Peter Doig

The Duncan Phillips Lectures are given by distinguished artists, historians, and critics, whose presentations cover a broad range of aesthetic concerns. The lecture series was started in 1987 by Laughlin Phillips (director of the museum from 1972 to 1992) in honor of his father, Duncan Phillips, the founder of The Phillips Collection.
