ARGUING WITH EINSTEIN

Presenter: George de Man

One of the great innovative minds of the 20th century was often right and original, but occasionally wrong in spite of himself; and some of the things he doubted, or didn't understand, are still argued over today. 


The class will cover the nature and achievement of scientific truth,  and highlight matters we still debate - - or may never "know."

THE SELF-PORTRAIT

Friday, January 24, 2025 CLICK ARROW FOR DETAILS

12:00p.m. - 1:00p.m.
Presenter: George de Man

Early on, artists would sometimes "hide" themselves in plain sight as a character in a grouping. Then, masters took on the psycho-drama of self-portrayal sometime in the 17th century: Rembrandt most famously but also by Rubens and other contemporaries; then further introspection-of-self by Goya, Velazquez, and most prolifically van Gogh. 


The class will look at the depth, and deceptions,  of what artists actually felt about themselves.
