Pharos of Chaos

Event Date as Display String: Sunday, November 24, 2019, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Location: Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge URL: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/calendar/pharos-of-chaos-2019-11 Event Description: Wolf-Eckart Bühler was at work on a different film about the adventurous, seafaring Sterling Hayden (Der Havarist/The Shipwrecker) when he finally tracked down the man in person to make this frank, fascinating document.

HILR Intersession: Mollie Crawford-Volk: Velazquez' "Las Meninas" and its Modern Progeny

Its scale, technical virtuosity, complex subject, and inclusion of the only uncontested self-portrait of the Spanish artist we have contributed decisively to its special stature. But this stature has been enormously enhanced by the number and quality of responses to the painting made by important later artists, a phenomenon that continues up to the present.
