Crescendo - Artists and Lasting Achievements
In this virtual presentation, former Time magazine art critic Richard Lacayo will discuss how, in their last decades, artists including Goya, Matisse, Hopper, and Louise Nevelson made some of the most profound work of their long lives, even sometimes in the face of enormous personal challenges or brutal upheaval in the world outside.

He's the author of the new book Last Light: How Six Great Artists Made Old Age a Time of Triumph.
