This exhibition presents the room-sized wall relief Constellations II
by Alsatian artist and poet Hans Arp (1886–1966); it is the work's
first public viewing in 15 years. Commissioned for the Harvard
Graduate Center by Harvard architecture professor and Bauhaus founding
director Walter Gropius, the relief's 13 panels were first installed
in 1950 on facing walls of a popular dining room in Harkness Commons
(now the Caspersen Center). Arp described its biomorphic shapes as
primal forms inspired by nature, a connection made clear in the title
of the work, which evokes a grouping of stars in the night sky.
Constellations II inaugurated a new chapter in Arp's postwar practice.
It was his first large-scale, site-specific artwork and led to others,
including a metal relief for the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. The
Harvard Art Museums are closed on major holidays.

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. Bühler finds the semi-retired actor, war hero, occasional writer and itinerant sailor whiling away his days — frequently drunk or stoned — living on a barge in France. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to his character in Altman's "The Long Goodbye," the wild and weathered old man of the sea and out of time enjoys quoting his favorite literature and telling anecdotes until finally opening up about his alcoholism, his loneliness, his "creative impotency," and his deepest ...

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

Event Date as Display String: Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 10:00am - 12:00pm Location: HILR, 34 Concord Avenue, Cambridge 02138 URL: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/harvard-events/events-calendar/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D141501611 Event Description: Diego Velazquez' magisterial late work, "Las Meninas," created in 1656 near the end of his life, is universally recognized now as one of the greatest paintings in the history of western culture. 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. Very few, if any, paintings in western art have inspired such an illustrious progeny. UID: http://uid.trumba.com/event/141501611 ...
