Artist Michael Krueger will present the next Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture on Thursday, March 6 at 5:30 p.m. at Sheldon Museum of Art’s Ethel S. Abbott Auditorium. The lecture is free and open to the public.

The School of Art, Art History & Design’s Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series brings notable artists, scholars and designers to Nebraska each semester to enhance the education of students. The series is presented in collaboration with Sheldon Museum of Art.

For the past 10 years, he has fostered ways to situate traditional printmaking techniques, such as pochoir, stencil-making and engraving in his unique works in painting and drawing. Krueger’s artworks through the years have been connected to narrative, mythology, counterculture, the history of art and personal memoir. Recent works have deepened a relationship with the landscape, storytelling and evoke an emotional awareness through nuanced image making, color, drawing and paint.

He is a professor of art in the Department of Visual Art at the University of Kansas.

His collections include the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Denver Museum of Art, Harvard University’s Fogg Museum and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, among others.
