Gallery Talk: Visions of Arcadia

Saturday, May 26, 2012
1 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.

Beck Building

Arcadia—an idyllic vision of harmonious paradise—has served as a theme in the arts since ancient times. Join this 45-minute gallery talk and see how the idea of an untouched (and perhaps unattainable) utopia has been interpreted by artists. Offered in conjunction with the exhibition Utopia/Dystopia: Construction and Destruction in Photography and Collage.
