About

Overview

Riverviews Artspace invites artists to put their own "modern twist" on the past. Select a specific work by any of the "greats" of art history, created in 1935 or earlier, and ask what it might say, mean, or look like if it were made today. Enter into dialogue with art history, and let that conversation shape something new, and entirely yours.
