The Artist Project: Julie Mehretu

Julie Mehretu on Velázquez’s Juan de Pareja

“Looking at his expression I’m moved, almost to tears. That’s not often that a painting can do that.”

The Artist Project is a 2015–2016 online series in which we give artists an opportunity to respond to our encyclopedic collection.
