"Odalisque: Beauty, Sex, and Slavery"

Nell Irvin Painter, Edwards Professor of American History, Princeton
University

Location: 230 Prospect St., Room 101

In this presentation, less a work-in-progress lecture than a fumbling
toward a new project, historian and artist Nell Painter discusses
"Odalisque," an artist's book of 100 drawings and 100 pages of text that
points to the fundamental concerns of beauty, sex, and slavery.  This
talk is part of the GLC Brown Bag Lunch Series. Bring your lunch and
we'll provide the drinks & dessert.
