Suzanne Jackson, an artist known for her innovative use of materials, is being celebrated with her first major museum retrospective. The exhibition, titled “What is Love,” highlights Jackson’s decades-long career in the art world. Now in her 80s, Jackson’s work continues to captivate audiences with its exploration of form and texture.
Senior Arts Correspondent Jeffrey Brown visited Jackson in Minneapolis for their Arts and Culture series, CANVAS. Brown has reported on national and international arts for over 30 years, profiling musicians, writers, actors, and artists.
His notable projects at the NewsHour include “Culture at Risk,” which examines endangered cultural heritage in the U.S. and internationally. He also helped create “Art Beat,” an online arts segment, and hosts “Now Read This,” a book club in partnership with The New York Times. Brown’s interviews and insights offer deep understanding into the lives and works of influential cultural figures.
