in the foreground: object Studies
The Research and Academic Program presents In the Foreground: Object Studies, a podcast on art and the ways it connects us to places, individual experiences, and one another. Each of these short ten-minute meditations will introduce you to a single work of art seen through the eyes of an art historian, from graduate students in the Williams Graduate Program in the History of Art to our senior Clark fellows.
