Join curatorial fellow Talitha Maria G. Schepers for an interactive close-looking session that explores the exceptional and innovative circumstances under which 17th-century Dutch artists drew female nudes from life, the conventions they broke while doing so, and their reason for using blue paper. This seminar is inspired by a recent installation of Dutch drawings and prints in the 17th-century Dutch and Flemish art gallery (2300).
Led by:
Talitha Maria G. Schepers, Stanley H. Durwood Foundation Curatorial Fellow, Division of European and American Art
