Art historian Alexander Nemerov stood waiting before Helen Frankenthaler’s “Untitled, 1979” with 11 graduate students in the Syracuse University Art Museum study room. He opened the session with a simple invitation for students to share their observations—not looking for the right answer, but any answer at all.当第一个学生打破沉默时,涅梅罗夫没有讲课。相反,他问了另一个问题。

What followed wasn’t a lecture but a conversation—one that would leave the art history students reconsidering not just how to approach modern art, but how to imagine their own futures in the field. The visit exemplified what makes graduate education transformative: intimate engagement with distinguished scholars who challenge students to think in new ways.
