Two-Point Perspective Gallery Talk

Paradise Lost, a Depression-era play by Clifford Odets, raises questions about the nature of love, greed, loss, hope, empathy, and humanity. In connection with the American Repertory Theatre’s production of the play (February 27–March 20, 2010 at the Loeb Drama Center), this talk will consider how artists respond to hard times.

This popular series considers objects from more than one point of view. The informal talks, many of them by Harvard Art Museum 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.
Gallery talks are informal and include discussion. Limited to 25 participants; please arrive early.

For more information, please contact Susannah Hutchison at 617-496-8576 or susannah_hutchison@harvard.edu.
