Saturday, February 13 | 2:00–4:00

Two of Wisconsin’s most respected and lively artists—Tom Bamberger and Tom Uttech—will go head-to-head in a discussion over Carl von Marr’s masterpiece, The Flagellants.

This pair of luminaries will air out their opposing opinions about this historical painting. Join us in the galleries to discover who finds it to be a masterfully-executed and meaningful allegory and who finds it to be an over-told, academic epic. Or perhaps something in between.

In celebration of Carl von Marr’s February 14 birthday and in recognition of the museum’s founding legacy, this Carl von Marr-inspired afternoon is a great outing for Valentine’s Day weekend. Join us for what is sure to be a rapturous debate followed by birthday cake!
