Reflection and Memory in Art

Olivia Barry ‘16

How do artists memorialize personal, political, and cultural histories in their work? This tour examines Western art from a wide range of periods, looking at the themes of loss, memory, rebirth, and memorialization. Visitors on this tour will have a chance to see highlights of the collection through a new lens and explore how each object recalls or reclaims something that has been lost.
