Art Break|Museum of Art Fellows + CLAS 601 Students on "Myths Retold"
Wednesday, March 29, 2023 - 12:10pm to 1:00pm
Join us in the Museum of
Art for a conversation between Museum of Art Fellows and student researchers
from CLAS 601: The Power of Myth, for a discussion interpreting
myths portrayed in the current exhibition, Myths Retold: Paintings by Rosemarie
Beck.
This program features
Museum of Art Fellow Erin McKeen and CLAS 601: The Power of Myth Students
Jim Kertis, Molly Gearhart, and Henry Huot.
Erin McKeen ('24) is a
Studio Art major and a Chemistry Minor. Molly Gearhart ('25) is a dual History
and Anthropology major with Minors in Classics and Studio Art. Jim Kertis is a
graduation senior majoring in English.
Students in CLAS 601: Power of Myth wrote
the explanatory exhibition labels to help viewers understand the nuances in
Beck’s interpretation and the relevance of studying ancient myths and their
literary sources today. This collaboration was made possible by Paul
Robertson, Senior Lecturer, and R. Scott Smith, Department Chair, Classics,
Humanities, and Italian Studies.
This exhibition is supported by the Friends of
the Museum of Art with works of art lent by the Rosemarie Beck
Foundation.
