Winter/Spring 2016

The MCA members magazine cover featuring a painting of a person in a white suitcoat and pastel scarf sitting in a dark room at a table with a tulip on it holding their glasses

This issue of our members’ magazine is dedicated to numbers. Within these pages, you will see articles that address the theme quite literally, through top ten lists and facts and figures. You will also see features that explore the topic more tangentially, say, by examining Kerry James Marshall’s interest in reimagining the paint-by-number kits popularized in the 1950s.
