Three installations accompany a popular course taught by Professor Henri Zerner and members of Harvard’s Department of History of Art and Architecture. The first exhibition focuses on painting techniques and pictorial space; the second addresses sculpture, printmaking, and artistic process; and the third explores abstraction and photography. Each installation brings together diverse media and unusual groupings of objects, including works that are seldom on display.
