75 Reasons to Live: Janet Bishop on Watercolors by Schoolboys from the Chirodzo Art Center

by Janet Bishop

Janet Bishop, curator of painting and sculpture at SFMOMA, talks about a group of vibrant watercolors by schoolboys from Southern Rhodesia. She tells the story of how these works ended up in SFMOMA’s archives, thanks to the humanitarian impulses of the museum’s founder, Grace McCann Morley.
