Art Imitates Life Imitates Art…
In the Provenzano Student Art Gallery, William Argueta Pinedo ’24 mirrors his pose in a photo by Syed Muhammad Jafri ’24, which in turn mirrors Gustave Courbet’s The Desperate Man (1844-45). In “Savage Sensuality,” a spring exhibition at the Provenzano Gallery, Jafri recreated canonical works of art to examine the politics of identity and representation. With support from Dominic Provenzano ’72, P’04, the gallery opened in 2022 on the ground floor of Scandling Campus Center and regularly showcases student art exhibitions. Jafri’s work was curated by Adriana Croce ’25 as part of her art history capstone project.
