SUMMARY:Painting with Beeswax: Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Ancient artists from Roman-period Egypt created portraits on wooden panels to be placed on mummified bodies. The main technique used for these portraits was encaustic (wax) painting. These paintings can now be seen in museum collections around the world. In this presentation and conversation\, contemporary encaustic artist Francisco Benitez and conservator of paintings Kate Smith will employ their expertise to bring new understanding to these ancient objects and allow us to appreciate the skills of the painters who made them 2\,000 years ago. \nFrancisco Benitez is a professional artist as well as a student\, and teacher\, of ancient painting techniques. In workshops\, he shares his research on using ancient\, and modern\, tools to paint with beeswax and to experiment with the Greek four-color palette. Kate Smith—with curatorial and analytical science colleagues—has spent nearly a decade studying the materials and techniques used in the production of the ancient Egyptian funerary portraits in the Harvard Art Museums collections. \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward\, on view through December 30\, 2022. Please be advised that this exhibition contains objects that were removed from ancient Egyptian burials. \nSpeakers:\nFrancisco Benitez\, Encaustic Artist\nKate Smith\, Conservator of Paintings and Head of Paintings Lab\, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies \nFollowing the lecture\, guests are invited to visit the exhibition on Level 3. \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and reservations are required. Reservations may be arranged by clicking on the event on this form beginning on Monday\, October 24\, after 10am. \nThe lecture will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors will open at 5:30pm. \nLimited complimentary parking is available in the Broadway Garage\, 7 Felton Street\, Cambridge. \nPlease review our general visitor policies\, including details on COVID-related precautions. \nSupport for the Funerary Portraits exhibition is provided by the Kelekian Fund\, the Christopher and Jean Angell Charitable Fund\, and the Kornfeld Foundation (through Christopher Angell). Related programming is supported by the M. Victor Leventritt Lecture Series Endowment Fund. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors.

SUMMARY:Screens for Teens: Train to Busan
DESCRIPTION:This series of contemporary and classic films is specially curated for teenagers in and around Cambridge. The selection\, including both short and feature-length films\, is meant to provide teens with an opportunity to watch work focused explicitly on their experiences. Covering a range of topics\, emotions\, and nuances\, these free films—depending on length and scope—will be followed by conversation with faculty from the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. \nAbout today’s film:\nTrain to Busan\, 2016 (Well Go USA; Korean with English subtitles; 118 min.) \nWhen a mysterious virus breaks out across South Korea\, the infected transform into the murderous undead in this wildly successful 2016 thriller Train to Busan\, an official New York Times Critic’s Pick that Slant Magazine credits with scare tactics “among the most distinctive the zombie canon has ever seen.” As terrified travelers fight for their lives on a bullet train from hell\, the result is a gory high-speed collision between the rich and the poor\, the living and the undead\, and the best and worst of human nature. When some among them prove willing to sell their soul for a shot at survival\, trust may prove to be a luxury even the richest passengers cannot afford. \nPlease note that the film is not rated\, and features violence and horror. \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and reservations are required. Reservations may be arranged by clicking on the event on this form beginning on Thursday\, October 20\, after 10am. \nThe screening will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors will open at 1:30pm. \nPlease see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors.

SUMMARY:Materials Lab Workshop: Making Faces
DESCRIPTION:This workshop accompanies the exhibition Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward\, which invites viewers to ask more about the complicated histories of these portraits and the people they depict. The exhibition explores what can be learned about the artistic process and current condition of these works through scientific analysis and technical research conducted by staff in the Harvard Art Museums’ Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. Funerary Portraits is on view through December 30\, 2022. \nIn this two-part workshop\, join us first in the exhibition galleries with curator Susanne Ebbinghaus and conservator Kate Smith for a close look at the portraits and learn what our curators\, conservators\, and scientists have discovered about them. Then take that experience to the Materials Lab\, where you’ll make your own version of an ancient tempera painting using some of the same materials and techniques used by Roman-period artists. This workshop aims to honor and remember the woman in the ancient portrait we will copy\, and to celebrate the relationship between artist and sitter that allowed the woman’s essence to be captured so powerfully. \nLed by:\nSusanne Ebbinghaus\, George M.A. Hanfmann Curator of Ancient Art and Head\, Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art\nKate Smith\, Conservator of Paintings and Head of Paintings Lab\, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies \nNo prior experience necessary. This workshop will take place in the Materials Lab\, Lower Level. \n$15 materials fee. Registration is required and space is limited. Registration for this workshop will open on Thursday\, October 6\, 2022 at this link\, and participants will be admitted on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Materials Lab Workshop: Modeling Material Culture in Paper
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is inspired by the exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment\, which explores how the graphic arts inspired\, shaped\, and gave immediacy to new ideas in the so-called age of reason. It invites visitors to embrace the Enlightenment’s same spirit of inquiry—to investigate\, to persuade\, and to imagine. The exhibition is on view at the Harvard Art Museums through January 15\, 2023. \nWe will first gather in the galleries with Elizabeth Rudy\, the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints\, and visiting artist Angela Lorenz. Rudy will explain the main themes of the exhibition and focus on a few works that present mysteries that remain unsolved. Lorenz will show examples of her “McSpheres” (Material Culture Spheres). These spheres serve as a low-tech\, open model for the 3-D visualization of objects. She developed them as tools to explore\, categorize\, and describe any object in the world—and to create connections with other objects. Participants will have an opportunity to closely examine and discuss the selected works together in the galleries. We will then proceed to the Materials Lab to fashion our own McSpheres. A conversation about the participants’ creations and the works in the exhibition will conclude the workshop. \nLorenz sees the McSphere as “a call and response specific to Dare to Know\, but [also as] a way to access critical thinking that applies to any object\, environment\, cupboard\, refrigerator\, living room or neighborhood. Some people will go micro to the carbon atom and the water cycle\, others macro to settler colonialism and global trade.” The artist’s hope is that the McSphere will serve as a tool for the exploration of objects in other museums\, neighborhoods\, and contexts. \nLed by:\nElizabeth Rudy\, Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints\, Harvard Art Museums\nAngela Lorenz\, Artist \nNo prior experience necessary. Bring your imagination\, curiosity\, and creativity! This workshop will take place in the Materials Lab\, Lower Level. \n$15 materials fee. Registration is required and space is limited. Registration for this workshop will open on Saturday\, October 1\, 2022 at this link\, and participants will be admitted on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Materials Lab Workshop: Modeling Material Culture in Paper
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is inspired by the exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment\, which explores how the graphic arts inspired\, shaped\, and gave immediacy to new ideas in the so-called age of reason. It invites visitors to embrace the Enlightenment’s same spirit of inquiry—to investigate\, to persuade\, and to imagine. The exhibition is on view at the Harvard Art Museums through January 15\, 2023. \nWe will first gather in the galleries with Elizabeth Rudy\, the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints\, and visiting artist Angela Lorenz. Rudy will explain the main themes of the exhibition and focus on a few works that present mysteries that remain unsolved. Lorenz will show examples of her “McSpheres” (Material Culture Spheres). These spheres serve as a low-tech\, open model for the 3-D visualization of objects. She developed them as tools to explore\, categorize\, and describe any object in the world—and to create connections with other objects. Participants will have an opportunity to closely examine and discuss the selected works together in the galleries. We will then proceed to the Materials Lab to fashion our own McSpheres. A conversation about the participants’ creations and the works in the exhibition will conclude the workshop. \nLorenz sees the McSphere as “a call and response specific to Dare to Know\, but [also as] a way to access critical thinking that applies to any object\, environment\, cupboard\, refrigerator\, living room or neighborhood. Some people will go micro to the carbon atom and the water cycle\, others macro to settler colonialism and global trade.” The artist’s hope is that the McSphere will serve as a tool for the exploration of objects in other museums\, neighborhoods\, and contexts. \nLed by:\nElizabeth Rudy\, Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints\, Harvard Art Museums\nAngela Lorenz\, Artist \nNo prior experience necessary. Bring your imagination\, curiosity\, and creativity! This workshop will take place in the Materials Lab\, Lower Level. \n$15 materials fee. Registration is required and space is limited. Registration for this workshop will open on Thursday\, September 29\, 2022 at this link\, and participants will be admitted on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:“Mummy Portraits” of Roman Egypt: Status\, Ethnicity\, and Magic
DESCRIPTION:In ancient Egypt\, one of the final steps in the mummification process was to equip the body with a permanent face covering that helped protect the head and also ritually transform the deceased into a god. The earliest examples of these were stylized masks\, later replaced by more realistically rendered painted portraits. Using evidence from the archaeological record and the Book of the Dead—a series of spells meant to guide the dead as they sought eternal life—art professor Lorelei Corcoran will discuss the production and function of the “mummy portraits” that were popular throughout Egypt in the Roman period. She’ll also explore what these images reveal about the religious beliefs and multilayered ethnicities of their subjects. \nThis hybrid event will be held in person and online. The event will be held at the Geological Lecture Hall\, 24 Oxford Street\, in Cambridge. Free parking is available in the 52 Oxford Street Garage. \nThis event is free\, but advance registration required for either virtual or in-person attendance. A Zoom link will be shared upon registration for those opting to join virtually. \nPresented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the Harvard Art Museums. The related Harvard Art Museums exhibition\, Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward\, is on view through December 30\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Art Talk Live: A Study of a Study
DESCRIPTION:Join curatorial assistant Sam Nehila to pick apart the typical ways viewers think about studies displayed in art museums. We will closely examine a study by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Rather than focusing on the artist’s technique or process\, or comparing the study directly to the finished piece\, we’ll view this study as an individual work of art and discover a new way of looking. \nLed by:\nSam Nehila\, Curatorial Assistant\, Division of European and American Art \nThis talk is part of the series Fresh Perspectives\, an initiative that centers the role of the museumgoer. Like talks in the ReFrame series\, these programs highlight diverse voices and broad interpretations of difficult histories and untold narratives. This approach encourages visitors to consider alternative ways of understanding an object\, culture\, or theme. \nThis talk will take place online via Zoom. The event is free and open to all\, but registration is required. To register\, please complete this online form. \nPlease read these instructions on how to join a meeting on Zoom. For general questions about Art Talks\, email am_register@harvard.edu. \nArt Talks Live are presented via Zoom and offer an up-close look at works from our collections with our team of curators\, conservators\, fellows\, and graduate students. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors.

SUMMARY:Materials Lab Workshop: Making Faces
DESCRIPTION:This workshop accompanies the exhibition Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward\, which invites viewers to ask more about the complicated histories of these portraits and the people they depict. The exhibition explores what can be learned about the artistic process and current condition of these works through scientific analysis and technical research conducted by staff in the Harvard Art Museums’ Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. Funerary Portraits is on view through December 30\, 2022. \nIn this two-part workshop\, join us first in the exhibition galleries with conservators Kate Smith and Georgina Rayner for a close look at the portraits and learn what our curators\, conservators\, and scientists have discovered about them. Then take that experience to the Materials Lab\, where you’ll make your own version of an ancient tempera painting using some of the same materials and techniques used by Roman-period artists. This workshop aims to honor and remember the woman in the ancient portrait we will copy\, and to celebrate the relationship between artist and sitter that allowed the woman’s essence to be captured so powerfully. \nLed by:\nKate Smith\, Conservator of Paintings and Head of Paintings Lab\, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies\nGeorgina Rayner\, Associate Conservation Scientist\, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies \nNo prior experience is necessary. This workshop will take place in the Materials Lab\, Lower Level. \n$15 materials fee. Registration is required and space is limited.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk: Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:Join Margaret Morgan Grasselli for an in-depth discussion about the 18th-century invention of the multicolor\, multiplate printing technique that laid the foundation for today’s CMYK process. Grasselli will examine several examples of this technique on view in the special exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment\, with particular focus given to Jacques-Fabien Gautier d’Agoty’s Muscles of the Back. \nFeaturing approximately 150 works on paper and other related objects\, Dare to Know explores how the graphic arts inspired\, shaped\, and gave immediacy to new ideas in the Enlightenment era by encouraging individuals to follow their own reason when seeking to know more. An illustrated catalogue with 26 thematic essays—an A to Z exploration of the Enlightenment quest for understanding and change—accompanies the exhibition. \nOur galleries are full of stories—this series of talks gives visitors a chance to hear the best ones! The talks highlight new works on view\, take a fresh look at old favorites\, investigate artists’ materials and techniques\, and reveal the latest discoveries by curators\, conservators\, fellows\, visiting artists\, technologists\, and other contributors. \nLed by:\nMargaret Morgan Grasselli\, Visiting Senior Scholar for Drawings \nGallery talks are limited to 18 people\, and it is required that you reserve your place. At 10am the day of the event\, reservations will open and may be arranged online through this form. The gallery talk reservation will also serve as your general museum reservation. If required\, visitors will pay the museum admission fee upon arrival. \nPlease meet in the Calderwood Courtyard\, in front of the digital screens between the shop and the admissions desk. \nPlease see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museum. \nThis exhibition is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Art Talk Live: Yasuo Kuniyoshi’s Last Act
DESCRIPTION:Yasuo Kuniyoshi once proclaimed that “an artist’s drawings are his first words.” Having emigrated from Japan to the United States at the age of 16\, Kuniyoshi relied upon drawing as his most expressive medium. Through drawing\, he translated the anxiety\, disillusionment\, and alienation faced by Japanese émigrés in the aftermath of World War II into a uniquely personal and dynamic American modernist style. \nLed by:\nElisa Germán\, Emily Rauh Pulitzer Curatorial Fellow in Contemporary Drawings\, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art \nThis talk is part of a series inspired by ReFrame\, a museum-wide initiative to reimagine the function\, role\, and future of the university art museum. These talks examine difficult histories\, foreground untold stories\, and experiment with new approaches to the collections of the Harvard Art Museums\, reflecting the concerns of our world today. \nThis talk will take place online via Zoom. The event is free and open to all\, but registration is required. To register\, please complete this online form. \nPlease read these instructions on how to join a meeting on Zoom. For general questions about Art Talks\, email am_register@harvard.edu. \nArt Talks Live are presented via Zoom every other Tuesday at 12:30pm (ET) and offer an up-close look at works from our collections with our team of curators\, conservators\, fellows\, and graduate students. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors. For anyone requiring accessibility accommodations for our programs\, please contact us at am_register@harvard.edu at least 48 hours in advance. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are open to the public. Reservations are available but not required and can be made up to three weeks in advance. Please see the museum visit page for more information.

SUMMARY:Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:See how the graphic arts inspired\, shaped\, and gave immediacy to new ideas in the Enlightenment era\, encouraging individuals to follow their own reason when seeking to know more. \nWhat role did drawings and prints play during the Enlightenment era\, from roughly 1720 to 1800? Dare to Know explores many nuances of this complex time—when political and cultural revolutions swept across Europe and the Americas\, spurring profound shifts in science\, philosophy\, the arts\, social and cultural encounters\, and our shared sense of history. Indeed\, the Enlightenment itself has been described as a “revolution of the mind.” Novel concepts in every realm of intellectual inquiry were communicated not only through text and speech\, but in prints and drawings that gave these ideas a visual\, concrete form. They made new things visible—and familiar things visible in powerful new ways. They wielded the potential to visually articulate\, reinforce\, or contradict beliefs as well as biases\, while also arguing for social action and imagining new realities. \nIn 1784\, in response to a journal article asking “What Is Enlightenment?\,” German philosopher Immanuel Kant argued that the Enlightenment’s main impulse was to “dare to know!”: to pursue knowledge for oneself\, without relying on others to interpret facts and experiences. But is this ever truly possible? \nBringing together 150 prints\, drawings\, books\, and other related objects from Harvard as well as collections in the United States and abroad\, this exhibition offers provocative insights into both the achievements and the failures of a period whose complicated legacies reverberate still today. Dare to Know asks new and sometimes uncomfortable questions of the so-called age of reason\, inviting visitors to embrace the Enlightenment’s same spirit of inquiry—to investigate\, to persuade\, and to imagine. \nCurated by Elizabeth M. Rudy\, Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints at the Harvard Art Museums\, and Kristel Smentek\, Associate Professor of Art History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. With special thanks to Heather Linton\, Curatorial Assistant for Special Exhibitions and Publications in the Division of European and American Art\, and Christina Taylor\, Associate Paper Conservator\, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. Research contributions by Austėja Mackelaitė\, Stanley H. Durwood Foundation Curatorial Fellow (2016–18)\, and by these Ph.D. candidates in Harvard’s Department of History of Art and Architecture and former graduate interns in the Division of European and American Art: J. Cabelle Ahn\, Thea Goldring\, and Sarah Lund. \nAn illustrated catalogue with 26 thematic essays—an A to Z exploration of the Enlightenment quest for understanding and change—accompanies the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Screens for Teens: Clueless
DESCRIPTION:This series of contemporary and classic films is specially curated for teenagers in and around Cambridge. The selection\, including both short and feature-length films\, is meant to provide teens with an opportunity to watch work focused explicitly on their experiences. Covering a range of topics\, emotions\, and nuances\, these free films—depending on length and scope—will be followed by conversation with faculty from the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. \nAbout today’s film:\nClueless\, 1995 (Paramount Pictures; English; 97 min.) \nJane Austen might never have imagined that her 1816 novel Emma could be turned into a fresh and satirical look at ultra-rich teenagers in a Beverly Hills high school. Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash)\, both named after “great singers of the past that now do infomercials\,” are pampered upper-class girls who care less about getting good grades than wearing the right clothes and being as popular as possible. But Cher\, who lives with her tough yet warm-hearted lawyer dad (Dan Hedaya) and hunky\, sensitive stepbrother (Paul Rudd)\, also has an innate urge to help those less fortunate like the two introverted teachers she brings together (“negotiating” improved grades for herself in the process) and new friend Tai (Brittany Murphy)\, who starts out a geek and ends up a Cher prodigy. Cher also possesses her own sensitive side\, and she is looking for the perfect boyfriend\, whom she ends up finding where she least expected. \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and reservations are required. Reservations may be arranged by clicking on the event on this form beginning on Thursday\, September 1\, after 10am. \nThe screening will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors will open at 1:30pm. \nPlease see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors. For anyone requiring accessibility accommodations for our programs\, please contact us at am_register@harvard.edu at least 48 hours in advance.

SUMMARY:Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward
DESCRIPTION:Come face to face with portraits of Egyptians who lived during the Roman period and discover what role these images played in funerary rituals as well as what modern technical study can reveal about ancient artistic practices. \nFeaturing several painted portrait panels\, sculptural portraits\, and a linen burial shroud\, this tightly focused exhibition asks visitors to reflect upon objects that represent the deceased and were once intimately connected with their bodies. The exact findspots and details of the excavation and dismantling of these objects were not recorded; and while the portraits present seemingly familiar faces\, we can never fully know the people behind them. So what more can we learn from the objects themselves? \nThe exhibition foregrounds scientific analysis and technical research conducted by staff in the Harvard Art Museums’ Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. Their work\, part of an international research project\, helps illuminate how ancient artists created these painted and plaster faces. In-gallery displays of technical images of the objects\, samples of artists’ materials such as pigments and binding media\, and a sequence of panels illustrating painting techniques provide further context. In recovering the artistic processes\, the complicated histories of these objects have also come into view. \nThe individuals depicted in these portraits lived in the first three centuries CE\, when Egypt was a province of the Roman empire\, and their burial treatments attest to the multicultural nature of that era. Their bodies were mummified in the Egyptian tradition\, but their portraits appear in a Graeco-Roman style. They wore clothes\, jewelry\, and hairstyles that were popular in Rome\, while also participating in Egyptian religious institutions. The funerary traditions represented by the objects in this exhibition were elaborate and expensive\, privileges of an elite class who could choose how their bodies were treated in death. \nWe invite visitors to face forward as they explore this exhibition: to engage with the ancient subjects on an equal footing\, consider the problematic practices that led to the removal of these objects from their original contexts\, and imagine what questions the works and the individuals depicted might generate in the future. \nOrganized by Susanne Ebbinghaus\, George M.A. Hanfmann Curator of Ancient Art and head of the Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art; Georgina Rayner\, associate conservation scientist; Kate Smith\, conservator of paintings and head of the paintings lab; and Jen Thum\, assistant director of academic engagement and assistant research curator. \nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the Kelekian Fund\, the Christopher and Jean Angell Charitable Fund\, and the Kornfeld Foundation (through Christopher Angell). Related programming is supported by the M. Victor Leventritt Lecture Series Endowment Fund. \nOnline Resources \nAn online digital companion offers insights into the world of the people depicted in the portraits in the exhibition and the artists who painted them. The featured essays\, written by specialists at Harvard and elsewhere\, investigate the making\, meaning\, and modern history of these funerary objects. Research is ongoing\, and the tool will be updated as new information arises. \nVisit the Getty Center’s website to learn more about the research behind this exhibition\, part of an international collaborative effort called the APPEAR (Ancient Panel Paintings: Examination\, Analysis\, and Research) Project.
