Lecture Series 2005/6, Lecture 3,

Contemporary Artist, Alison Saar

Feb. 23 — Through the use of archetypal images, Saar reaches out to audiences from backgrounds as culturally and ethnically diverse as her own. Her mother, well-known artist Betye Saar, has European, Native American, and African American ancestors; her father, Richard Saar, painter turned conservator, is of German and Scottish origin. Fragments of lore, myth and legend as well as the practices of the everyday are woven into Saar’s powerful images. There will be specialty drinks in association with Goslings. The lecture takes place at the Bermuda National Gallery in City Hall. There will be a 5:30pm reception for a 6pm lecture. Tickets are $15 for non-members, members $5.
