About the Lecture
Anna Marley and Robert Cozzolino's presentation, "Anatomy/Academy:
Art and Science in Philadelphia," will examine
the nexus of art and science in Philadelphia. This
lecture is a preview of their upcoming exhibition, featuring
Thomas Eakins masterpiece, The Gross Clinic, which
returns to PAFA for this exhibit.
Over the years, Philadelphia's
dynamic art and science communities have often fostered knowledge
of the human body through collaborating on and sharing discoveries,
transforming public attitudes toward mental and physical
health, and challenging conceptions about beauty.
Philadelphia's
role in advancing knowledge of the body has been both harrowing
and fascinating. The lecture is the fourth in our series
that highlights our exhibition, From Pastel's to
PDA's: Medical Education from the 18th c. to the 21st
c.
This event is free and open to the public.
