The Artist Project: Suzan Frecon

Artist Suzan Frecon reflects on Duccio di Buoninsegna's Madonna and Child in this episode of The Artist Project.
3 min. watch
From March 2015 to June 2016, we invited 120 artists—local, national, and global—to choose individual works of art or galleries that sparked their imaginations. In this online series, artists reflect on what art is, what inspires them from across 5,000 years of art, and in so doing, they reveal the power of a museum and The Met.

"I get lost in it and I think that's the wonderful experience of art: that you are no longer there."

Artist Suzan Frecon reflects on Duccio di Buoninsegna's "Madonna and Child" in this episode of The Artist Project—an online series in which artists respond to works of art in The Met collection.

About the Artist
Suzan Frecon, born in 1941, is an American abstract painter.
