Works on Paper Highlights Talk: Sculpture in Two Dimensions
In conjunction with the Clark’s major summer exhibition, Rodin in the United States: Confronting the Modern, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs Anne Leonard explores a selection of works on paper that directly engage with nineteenth-century French sculpture. Images of and by Rodin share the stage with photographs from the same era documenting monumental sculptures in Paris.

Each week, discover a unique selection of rarely exhibited works on paper with a member of the curatorial department. Offered Wednesdays from 1–1:30 pm in July and August.
