Join curatorial fellow Peter Murphy for an in-depth discussion of Wilhelm Lehmbruck’s Head of a Thinker (1918), which will consider the work in the context of World War I. The sculpture is featured in the exhibition The Solomon Collection: From Dürer to Degas and Beyond (May 24–August 17, 2025).

The Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond celebrates a significant recent bequest to the Harvard Art Museums from passionate collectors Arthur K. and Mariot F. Solomon. The exhibition spotlights over 135 works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints by some of the most significant artists from the Renaissance to the 20th century, and offers visitors an intimate view into the highly personal yet inherently collaborative nature of art collecting.
