 009-10-07\nEvent Date End: 2009-10-07\n\nLecture Series\, In-Sight: Lookin
 g Deeper and Differently\nLecture with Yukio Lippit\, Harris K. Weston Ass
 ociate Professor of the Humanities\, Department of History of Art and Arch
 itecture\, Harvard University\nThrough a remarkable display of art-histori
 cal acumen\, this left hand in the Harvard Art Museum's collection was rec
 ently determined to belong to a large Japanese Buddhist icon by the 13th-c
 entury master sculptor Kaikei. His figure of the Buddha was a key componen
 t in one of the most dramatic chapters in Japan's religious and cultural h
 istory\, the efforts of the monk Chogen (1121&ndash\;1206) to rebuild Toda
 iji monastery &mdash\; the world's largest freestanding wooden building &m
 dash\; and its Great Buddha in Nara. The hand not only returns us to this 
 historical moment\, but also provides new insights into the wholesale chan
 ges taking place in Japanese sculpture\, architecture\, and religious cult
 ure of the period.\nJoin us for a new series of lectures that will explore
  individual objects from the Harvard Art Museum collection and beyond. Eac
 h lecture will look deeply at a single work of art\, inviting interpretati
 ons that probe beneath the surface. Approaching each work from multiple pe
 rspectives\, we will examine the techniques\, contexts\, and stories that 
 helped shape these exceptional works\, and their significance to the Art M
 useum.\nSeries tickets $90 (members $60\; complimentary series admission f
 or members at Sustaining level and above). Individual lectures $18 (member
 s $12). Space is limited and registration is strongly encouraged\; please 
 call 617-495-0534 or email artmuseum_membership@harvard.edu for more infor
 mation.\nComplimentary parking at Broadway Garage\, 7 Felton Street. Membe
 rs will receive invitations in the mail.\n\nStart time: 6:30 - 7:30 pm
