Lecture – Winslow Homer’s "Summer Night": New Perspectives
On loan to the Harvard Art Museums from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, Winslow Homer’s "Summer Night" (1890) is often described as one of the most extraordinary nocturnes in the history of American art. This scene of two women dancing in the moonlight at the water’s edge is one of the first oil paintings Homer completed after settling on the coast of Maine in 1883.
This event brought together three scholars who are providing new insights into Homer’s work: Frank Goodyear, co-director of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, who is curating an upcoming exhibition on Homer and photography; Hélène Valance, assistant professor of English at the Université de Franche-Comté, who recently published "American Nights: The Art of the Nocturne in the United States," 1890–1917; and Jennifer Roberts, who is the Elizabeth Cary Agassiz Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University.
The lecture took place in Menschel Hall on February 1, 2017.
Support for this program was provided by the M. Victor Leventritt Fund, which was established through the generosity of the wife, children, and friends of the late M. Victor Leventritt, Harvard Class of 1935. The purpose of the fund is to present outstanding scholars of the history and theory of art to the Harvard and Greater Boston communities.
