Sheldon Museum of Art has announced that a March 8 talk by artist Donald Sultan has been canceled.

Sultan’s artworks are featured in the “Donald Sultan: The Disaster Paintings” exhibition on display through May 13 at Sheldon. The artworks include large-scale industrial landscapes.

“Disaster Paintings” depict robust man-made structures, such as industrial plants and train cars, which exhibit a level of fragility in their susceptibility to be unhinged by catastrophic events. Combining such subject matter with industrial materials, such as tar and Masonite tiles, the works exemplify in both media and concept the vulnerability of the most progressive manufactured elements of modern culture.
