Event Details

In her presentation, A Reflection on Art and Memory: A Love Letter to Dutch Paintings, Karen Imarisio will describe how the impact of art in our lives is framed around the tragic short life and art of the Dutch painter Carel Fabritius. The presentation also features images and reflections about other 17th century Dutch artists who transformed the everyday into enduring, memorable images. 

Based on the book: Thunderclap: A Memoir of Art and Life & Sudden Death by Laura Cumming.
