[Peace] Painting out of conflict: a lecture that looks informative...

[Indigo Frank]

Dear Pacifists,
I announced this event at last AWARE meeting, so I am pasting the info from the web page on upcoming millercomm events: http://www.cas.uiuc.edu/casmillercomm.html#09/14/05


Painting Out of Conflict: Velázquez, the Dutch, and Painting in the Time of War
September 14, 2005
Wednesday, 5:30 p.m.
Room 62, Krannert Art Museum
500 East Peabody Drive, Champaign

Svetlana Alpers
Professor Emerita, History of Art, University of California, Berkeley and Visiting Scholar, Department of Fine Arts, New York University 
  
How have artists dealt with war? Has art served to encourage conflict? Should artists be blamed if they don't deal with war? Svetlana Alpers will examine striking instances when attention to the medium of art offered an alternative to strife. Painting can, literally, give us reason to pause.
