Claude Monet, French, Two Men Fishing, 1883. Black crayon and scratchwork on paper coated with gesso and incised with fine vertical lines for reproduction by gillotage. Harvard Art Museums/Fogg Museum, Bequest of Meta and Paul J. Sachs, 1965.312.

Seminar

Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA

Due to Harvard University’s recent on-campus meeting and event guidance around Coronavirus (COVID-19), this event has been canceled. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

While drawing is often described as the most intimate medium of art making, it does not have to be a solitary activity. In this seminar, curator Joachim Homann will examine a selection of European drawings from the 17th to the early 20th century that exemplify companionship and conviviality. He will discuss how these works reflect, envision, sanction, or deride closeness between people—whether imaginary or well-observed.

Offered by:
Joachim Homann, Maida and George Abrams Curator of Drawings, Division of European and American Art

The seminar will take place in the Art Study Center, Level 4.

Free admission, but registration is required. Registration for this seminar will open on Friday, March 27, 2020, and participants will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, please email am_register@harvard.edu.

Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the program to allow sufficient time to sign in at the Art Study Center reception desk, and be prepared to present a photo ID.
