A peek inside the disreputable demimonde of the Impressionists' Paris and Verdi's La Traviata. What did Manet know that allowed him to capture women's grave expressions so uniquely?
The Loggia Lecture Series is inspired by the Italian loggia, an outdoor space for engaging others in conversation or simply admiring the artfulness of the passing world. Each Loggia Lecture illuminates a significant art history topic that dovetails with an exhibition at BAM, creating opportunities for lively discussion throughout.
