    Lecture Series, In-Sight: Looking Deeper and Differently

    Lecture by Michelle Lamunière, John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Assistant Curator of Photography, Harvard Art Museum/Fogg Museum

    This compelling photograph of a mother and her twins is the basis for a larger discussion of Harvard's Social Museum, a compilation of photographs and graphic material established in 1903 to collect the social experience of the world as material for university teaching. The image prompts an exploration of the early use of photography as a social document and its role in educating students about social problems and the solutions — such as the provision of pasteurized milk — developed to ameliorate them.

    Join us for a new series of lectures that will explore individual objects from the Harvard Art Museum collection and beyond. Each lecture will look deeply at a single work of art, inviting interpretations that probe beneath the surface. Approaching each work from multiple perspectives, we will examine the techniques, contexts, and stories that helped shape these exceptional works, and their significance to the Art Museum.

    Series tickets $90 (members $60; complimentary series admission for members at Sustaining level and above). Individual lectures $18 (members $12).
    Space is limited and registration is strongly encouraged; please call 617-495-0534 or email artmuseum_membership@harvard.edu for more information.
