CAMPUS LECTURES

A titan of the Italian High Renaissance, the extreme virtuosity of Michelangelo’s technique in sculpture, his style in painting and architecture, his elegance and his expressive force, made him also a source for the Italian Mannerism that came after. Michelangelo (1475-1564) is arguably the greatest sculptor that has ever lived, and certainly the most famous. Presented in conjunction with the art exhibition, An Eye on Michelangelo and Bernini: Photographs by Aurelio Amendola (see Page 11).

The Daughters of Yalta is the story of three young women, all accomplished in their own right, who accompanied their fathers to the Yalta Conference in February 1945, a remarkable story of fathers and daughters whose relationships were tested and strengthened by the history they witnessed and the future they crafted. Catherine Grace Katz is a writer and historian from Chicago who holds degrees in history from Harvard and Cambridge.

Bruce Helander’s latest book presents an artist’s view on the amazing creative designs found in vintage handkerchiefs, examining the inherent attractiveness of functional repeat patterns. Having collected hundreds of distinctive pocket squares, Helander presents the essence of useful square patterns that become folded works of utilitarian sculptural art, including his wife’s wedding dress, hand-sewn out of antique white handkerchiefs. 21-22 Season Programs
