Wrestling with the Angel: On Art and its Afterlife
Speaker
Lisa Saltzman (Professor of History of Art on the Emily Rauh Pulitzer '55 Professorship at Bryn Mawr College)
"The Afterlife of Angels" is inspired by the remarkable survival of one idiosyncratic little modernist drawing and the posthumously published writings of the German-Jewish intellectual who owned, cherished and, with one powerfully prescient passage, transfigured the image into an enduring emblem of historical witness for the postwar period.
This talk will take place in Room A266 Bay 10 on the second floor of Smith Warehouse. Free and open to the public.
