Liudmila Davydova at the Harriman Institute next Wednesday, December 27

Dear members of the SHERA listserv,

You are cordially invited to attend Liudmila Davydova's lecture "Antique
Art in Contemporary Culture, which will take place on Wednesday, December
27 at noon at the Harriman Institute, Columbia University, 420 West 118th
Street, 12th floor, Room 1219, NY, NY 10027.

I am sending along a short description of Davydova's background and her
lecture below:

Liudmila Ivanovna Davydova is Curator of Greek Sculpture at the Hermitage
where she lectures frequently on the history of the museum and its
collection, including the holdings of the Department of Classical Antiquity.
She is also a Professor at the I. Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture
and Architecture of the Academy of Fine Arts where she teaches ancient art.
This year, she proposed a course “Live Antiquity” for the Youth Educational
Center of the Hermitage.  In this course, she uncovers relevant aspects of
the art of Ancient Greece to our lives today.



Professor Davydova’s lecture “Antique Art in Contemporary Culture,” is
designed to convey to listeners the sense of contemporaneity of classical
heritage.  This lecture will demonstrate the extent to which contemporary
artists integrate achievements of ancient sculptors, painters, and
architects into their work and the fabric of our lives. It will be
illustrated by individual works as well as recent exhibitions that took
place in Russia and in Europe.


Hope to see you in the audience!


Natasha
