Claude Ghez on Gustave Caillebotte’s Le Pont de l’Europe: Perspective at Play
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join Columbia University neuroscientist Claude Ghez for a probing exploration of how the composition of Caillebotte’s masterpiece comprises at least three different systems of linear perspective. He suggests that the artist constructed this perspectival complexity to discredit criticism of his work as excessively “photographic.” Dr. Ghez’s discussion will bring a new dimension of insight into this captivating painting, which is a highlight of Architecture of Life.
Gallery talks are included with BAM/PFA admission.
