Chagoya will discuss what he calls "Reverse Modernism/Reverse Anthropology," his riff on Modernist appropriation of imagery from "primitive" cultures, as embodied in his 1999 painting "Le Cannibale Moderniste." The canvas, which is part of Sheldon's permanent collection, is featured in the exhibition "Uncommon Likeness: Identity in Flux."
