Works on Paper Highlights Talk: Revolutionary Fashion

Manton Study Center for Works on Paper

In the wake of the French Revolution, fashion underwent radical shifts that mirrored the social and political upheaval of the era. Join Sojeong Lim, Curatorial Assistant, in looking at satirical prints and fashion plates dated c. 1795–1815, when scandalous dresses and extravagant menswear captured the anxieties and aspirations of a world in transition.
This event is the first in this summer's series of Works on Paper Highlights Talks in the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper, which houses the Clark's collection of more than 6,500 prints, drawings, and photographs. Each week, discover a unique selection of rarely exhibited works on paper with a member of the curatorial department. Offered Wednesdays in the end of July and through August from 1–1:30 pm.
Free. Capacity is limited. Seating is first-come, first-served.
The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper is located next to the Berenice Abbott’s Modern Lens exhibition in the Manton Research Center.
