"The Bauhaus and Harvard" — mounted in conjunction with the 100th
anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany —
presents nearly 200 works by 74 artists, drawn almost entirely from
the Busch-Reisinger Museum's extensive Bauhaus collection. Founded in
1919 and closed just 14 years later, the Bauhaus was the 20th
century's most influential school of art, architecture, and design.
Harvard University played host to the first Bauhaus exhibition in the
United States in 1930, and went on to become an unofficial center for
the Bauhaus in America when founding director Walter Gropius joined
Harvard's department of architecture in 1937. Today the
Busch-Reisinger Museum houses the largest Bauhaus collection outside
Germany, initiated and assembled through the efforts of Gropius and
many former teachers and students who emigrated from Nazi Germany,
including Anni and Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Lyonel Feininger, and
László Moholy-Nagy. 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 ...
