New to the Vault: Nathaniel Mary Quinn

Meet Nathaniel Mary Quinn, a new artist in the museum’s collection. Quinn is known for his composite portraits which appear to be made of combined materials, but are actually painted and drawn.

The artist’s personal experiences strongly inform his work, which probes complex issues of identity, memory, and perception. The museum recently acquired two works by the artist—C’mo’ And Walk With Me (2019) and Pure Insecurity (2019)—that will be featured in The Broad's upcoming exhibition.

In this interview, Quinn talks with Dominique Clayton, manager, Founding Director’s Office at The Broad.
