    David Bindman, Emeritus Professor of the History of Art, University College London, and a 2010 Sheila Biddle Ford Foundation Fellow, W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, Harvard University; and Miriam Stewart, Curator of the Collection, Division of European and American Art, Harvard Art Museums

    The Harvard Art Museums’ collection of British art encompasses a broad range of literary, biblical, and historical subjects. How do works by artists such as William Blake, J. M. W. Turner, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti enrich and deepen our understanding of these themes? This conversation will center on the installation of prints and drawings for Bindman’s course, The Past and the Present: British Art of the 19th Century, as well as other British paintings in the galleries.

    This popular series considers objects from more than one point of view. The informal talks, many of them by Harvard Art Museums curators, conservators, and educators and Harvard University faculty members, are designed to stimulate thinking about works of art and encourage participants to explore their own ways of seeing.

    Free with the price of admission. Open to the public.

    Limited to 25 participants; please arrive early.
