A one-hour lecture by Jerrilynn D. Dodds, Dean of the College,
Sarah Lawrence College.
In this lecture, Jerrilynn Dodds examines a single painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection to reveal a deep and vivid vision of this work in its time. Edgar Degas' central place within the history of Impressionism is key. We will explore not only the artistic content, but the cultural and social meaning that the work reveals about its place and time.
