Tuesday Tunes: A Playlist for Norman Lewis
Exhibitions & Events
Taking inspiration from the major theme of music in Ten Americans: After Paul Klee, we paired 11 staff members with 11 works from the exhibition and asked them to respond to create a playlist in response to their individual artwork. Amy Wike, Head of Marketing & Partnerships, created her playlist in response to Norman Lewis’s Untitled.

What immediately strikes me about this painting is the hazy but bright colors that give a luminous quality to an otherwise hauntingly dark work. In my playlist, you’ll find songs reminiscent of dusk, the twilight hour, and the ethereal.
