    Rather than considering likeness as the artist’s objective when depicting the human body, this talk examines how artists in 18th-century France used the representation of the body to convey a wide range of social, cultural, and political meaning. Discussion will focus on works in the installation The Origins of Modernity: The "New" 18th Century.

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

    Limited to 25 participants; please arrive early.

    Gallery talks are informal and include discussion.
