Gallery Talk: Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment
Join graduate student Hana Nikčević from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for an in-depth discussion around Nicolas Maréchal’s drawing of a polar bear, on view in the special exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment.
Featuring 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.
Led by:
Hana Nikčević, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University
