Whitney Davis: Pictorial Art and Global Psychological Modernity 
February 19, 7:00 pm | Kane Hall
Pictorial art has often been seen as one of the hallmarks of anatomically and cognitively modern, or what might be called “psychologically modern,” human beings. The lecture re-evaluates this notion in light of new findings in prehistoric studies and new arguments in the history and theory of art. How did pictorial art emerge and what does it do for the human species?
Whitney Davis is George C. and Helen N. Pardee Professor of History and Theory of Ancient and Modern Art at the University of California at Berkeley and Honorary Visiting Professor of Art History at the University of York.
This program is a part of the Katz Distinguished Lectures in the Humanities. The gallery space will have an exhibition of work by undergraduates in Painting + Drawing.
