Vortrag von Antony Griffiths, London: On Understanding and Misunderstanding Prints

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Vortrag in englischer Sprache aus Anlass der Vergabe des Wolfgang-Ratjen-Preises 2025.

Prints are unlike paintings and drawings in that they usually have texts – often a considerable amount of lettering. The relationship of these texts to the image they accompany is often problematic, and many prints have been misinterpreted and misunderstood. This lecture will discuss a number of specific cases, and explain the many factors which might lie behind the creation of misleading texts and images. The tendentious image and text is not a modern invention.

Antony Griffiths is currently working on the provenance of the Ethnographic collections in the British Museum.

Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos.
