In conjunction with the Clark’s summer exhibition of contemporary art, Humane Ecology: Eight Positions, Lunde Fellow Sarah Grandin discusses eight drawings that face and frame the natural world. From Claude Lorrain's idyllic valleys to Homer’s treacherous shorelines, to Degas’ morbid fox study to Bonheur’s stately bovine portraits, the selected works chart the breadth of artists' positions vis-à-vis their environments and cohabitants.
Visit the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper, which houses the Clark's collection of more than 6,500 prints, drawings, and photographs. Each week, discover a unique selection of rarely exhibited works on paper with a member of the curatorial department. Offered Wednesdays from 1–1:30 pm in August.
Free and open to the public; capacity is limited to twenty visitors on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper is located next to the Printed Renaissance exhibition in the Manton Research Center.
