 |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Friday, June 2 from 9 am–5:30 pm, the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art and the Clark Art Institute host public presentations by the program's graduating Masters students.
The presentations, timed in conjunction with Williams' 2023 Commencement Weekend, address topics in the history of art, from abstraction in American landscape painting, to a study of the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, to prurient fantasies in the marginalia of the Rutland Psalter.
Each of the graduating students speaks on their topic for approximately twenty minutes, in groups of three or four, with a discussion following each set of presentations. The presentations are the culmination of the two-year graduate program, jointly administered by Williams and the Clark.
The symposium is free and open to the public and takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
The Class of 2023 presenters are:
Talia Abrahams, Ridgefield, Connecticut
Nick Beischer, Durham, North Carolina
